[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I am pro-tracking.  I also don’t like that students can enroll in AP or Honors if they just feel like it.   Differentiation is impossible with the class sizes we are dealing with.[/quote]

I know teachers take a lot of shit from DCUM and, if this is forced through, it's going to be a whole bunch of crap rolling downhill on y'all when Larlo doesn't get the differentiation that his parents think he should, so I just want to say now, as a parent, that I think it's nuts to ask y'all to do this with 25-32 kids in a class and have already written VDOE to say so.  I hope that teachers also have a feedback mechanism and can tell VDOE how poorly this would work in practice.[/quote]

You would think VEA would be all over this, but that might look bad given their political stances.

Same with VAPTA.

Reason number 14532 that it would be better if the teacher's associations and PTA weren't so entangled with politics and activism.[/quote]

I think that you can be pro-equity and against the specific tactics being used in VMPI.[/quote]

PP, and I agree. What I don't think can be done is the nuanced conversation that it takes to say that happening in any of the organizations.[/quote]
