[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is that Arlington is getting richer-- therefore the families are becoming more entitled and believe their kids "deserve" more. There is a direct correlation. As a teacher who has worked across the county, I can honestly say the level of entitled parents in some richer schools is through the roof. The rigor isn't gone-- the families are just changing and the expectations are unrealistic for a public school district. [/quote] I'm not any richer than I was before Covid, but have found a big shift in APS from trying to differentiate to challenge all learners pre-pandemic, to a notion that APS's job is to teach to the standards following the pandemic. For a while this was based on huge learning loss gaps that needed to be filled, with lots of kids needing extra support, but now it seems just to be generally acceptable not to go beyond the standards. There has been a mindset shift, at least at my kids' elementary school.[/quote]
