[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which recommendations from the math committee are you mad about?[/quote]

Supporting the off-cycle, politically-driven increases in cut scores

I see recommendations to adopt a better curriculum and actually use it, allow homework in elementary schools, allocate math specialists based on students who need them, provide more detail about pass scores, etc. These seem pretty reasonable, honestly. [/quote]

Agree. I don’t see the conspiracy here?[/quote]

There is no "conspiracy".

I don't want people who push RW, anti-public-school propaganda to have a voice in our schools. YMMV.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a factor in shutting down the committees.

You come off a bit crazy, TBH. More likely they are a time sink that isn’t worth it. [/quote]

You come off a bit naive.[/quote]

You're right, people who disagree with you should be excluded from volunteering in APS. I think you should start working on a list of all the people guilty of wrongthink who need to be excluded. I think ACDC should also install a Kommissar for every committee. Their job can be to look out for ideological deviations, and they should be empowered to enact swift justice on those who fall away from the party orthodoxy. Why rely on whisper campaigns and anonymous internet postings when we could just bring all this activity out in the open, where we can be proud of it? This sounds like a good system. [/quote]
