[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the name of equity, the bar has been lowered for everyone. This hurts everyone and especially the high achievers. [/quote]

This. And the limited resources (funding, etc) are funneled toward the high-needs kids, with not much left over for the kids capable of more.[/quote]

“High-needs kids”? Who exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean kids with special needs? What do you want APS to do with them?

I’m sure you are pushing the CB and Youngkin to increase funding.

High needs could be:

Kids with learning difficulties
Kids who speak no English
Kids with behavioral issues
Kids who don’t have parents who value education

No one is saying these kids shouldn’t receive a greater share of Arlington’s resources. The problem is, we have SO many high-needs kids that there really isn’t much left over for anyone else.

No one is saying these kids can’t be gifted/talented. When I say “talented” kids, I mean the ones identified by APS to be such. People are claiming that robust services are delivered to these kids in a way that they’re receiving a bespoke education. And we all know that’s not true.
