[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the entirety of a school district’s mission has NOTHING to do with educating children expectations should be very low, and the results, unsurprisingly, reveal children are not being educated.  Equitably failing is equity for all. [/quote]

My bigger problem is ACPS’s narrow focus on what remediates the equity issue.  You are correct that ACPS’s first mission should be educating its student population.  Equity fits right with that because of the barriers to some groups to the same educational opportunity.  Thus, if ACPS was really focused on equity, it would start with instituting the best instructional approach possible to give all its students the best opportunity.  Instead, ACPS seems to love to downplay its poor test scores and spend little time looking at its instructional approaches (or not even focus on where it might be moving in the right direction like the adoption of a evidence based reading instruction program for lower elementary (Really Great Reading).

This! Spot on. I also agree that the students who go to private are already on third base due to their family/socio-economic standing. [/quote]
