[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you think values get turned into laws? Activism.

Why the disdain for those advocating for better policies to ensure justice and equity?[/quote]
 I think the OPs point is that in elementary school a child needs a focus on strong writing and math and a broad view of history and science. We need a solidly educated community for activist to have any standing once they reach the later years. If they can't write well and don't have critical thinking skills and the ability to have an opinion of their own they are good to no one.
 I believe strongly in SJ but agree with OP that it is a concern if focus on that crowds out important curriculum needed in the younger years in order to be a well educated person as a young adult.

Sheridan is a lovely place but we did leave in elementary because a small school can only do so much. They have a new head of diversity which will help further their progressive pedagogy very much in line with GDS but this means expanding on science, math and even technology is limited. We enjoyed our time and found the academics in our local public stronger. Ask to meet families at the school or find some through your network to get an inside look. [/quote]
