[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fighting issues from three years ago? Give me a break with that privilege. Massive achievement gaps remain. We aren’t doing a good job closing them. Maybe YOUR kid is fine north arlington, wealthy white parent who can pay for tutoring but a lot of kids are NOT OKAY and I’d like my district to care.

Talking about learning loss and context because our school board just tries to paint a rosy picture constantly is not bad. Take your privilege and shove it back to somewhere where those of us trying to help our kid read at grade level don’t have to see it.[/quote]

Lort. APE and their co-opting and misappropriation of words like privilege and equity, not really understanding what either means but feeling free and mighty to throw them around like they care about minorities and real learning loss. It existed before the pandemic. Where was APE when Murphy wasn’t giving two ***** about Black, Brown or Sped kids. Anyone?

I see right through you.

And I am not white, rich, or live in N Arlington.

You sir, need to get a grip.[/quote]

So, I wasn’t around three years ago, but at the last school board meeting APE was lobbying for Arlington spending more money on intensive tutoring, particularly for kids who need to catch up. Arlington apparently wants to dump a significant chunk of the state money in reserves, exclude kids who actually need help because they already have some help (??!), and “tutor” at a 10 to 1 ratio. Please tell me how this is a MaGA cause? Would you prefer APS dump it into more D&E coordinators who do nothing?[/quote]
