People who notice changes in FCPS (or lack of changes) = trolls?

Are you sure about that?[/quote]

DP here. Yes. When people frequently post complaints about FCPS that boil down to “equity”, it’s usually trolling. [/quote]

NP. Agree. [/quote]

Parents are lit screaming for change and you boil it down to "darn trolls." What would it take for you to believe that some parents and teachers aren't happy? Bigger question - why is this hard to believe?[/quote]

NP.

It's not hard to believe that parents and teachers are not happy. What is difficult, is to believe that the explosion in threads about declining quality of FCPS as we near elections, and the reason for it being attributed to woke SB, equity, DEI, CRT, trans athletes, and other left wing faults, is not politically motivated.

What I would like is this. I would like each SB candidate to address the actual issue that teachers and parents are unhappy, and that we're failing our students. What policies would they implement, to stop the bleeding of teachers? What are they planning to do to close achievement gap? What are they planning to do, to bring scores back up? What policies would be implemented, to hold students accountable for their behavior, without penalizing POC for their skin color? When we do hear about schools in Republican run states, it's always something negative, about banning books, and other culture war issues. Banning books, or burning them, or keeping trans kids from using bathrooms of the gender they identify with, is not going to make teachers happy, it's not going to bring test scores up, it's not going to get kids with less support to achieve.

So, what IS the plan if we change the composition of the SB?

The problem is that no one actually talks about what they will actually do. It's always about how they're not like <insert bad guy here>. It is not helpful to the Republican cause that by and large, they cannot point to red states, or cities, or school districts with a large and diverse population like ours, where they have been successful in addressing problems.

I think the answer is pretty clear.

Just stop.

Stop changing everything to suit a small number of student who fail no matter what.

I don’t want a new SB to solve anything. I just want them to stop doing what the current SB has been doing.

Give my kids novels and homework in middle and elementary. Stop E3 math from eventually preventing 7th grade Algebra. Punish violent behavior and drug use with stronger punishments.

There is no need for new solutions as we already did all these things 5-7 years ago. These solutions aren’t hard but they do require accepting that certain efforts can no longer be viable. And equity is a big part of that.[/quote]
