[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to Hutchings' bio for his book he is:

" Gregory C. Hutchings, Jr. is a nationally recognized educational leader, antiracism activist, and adjunct professor who unapologetically advocates for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and racial equity. He has over twenty years of combined educational experience as a teacher, school principal, central office administrator, superintendent, and college professor. [b]Dr. Hutchings is the chief executive officer and founder of an educational consulting firm, Revolutionary Ed, LLC.[/b] His life’s work is educational service and dismantling systemic racism in schools across America."

When does he have the time to be an educational consultant? And adjunct professor? It's obvious that he is not focused on the district.

ACPS is crumbling under his leadership. When will his bosses on the school board have the courage to stand up to him?

I can't believe that anyone or any school district would take his advice in his book seriously. He left Shaker Heights worse than he found it. That was well documented in the Washington Post story. He's pro-SRO in Alexandria yet advocates that other districts to get policing out of schools. ACHS is extrememly segregated, yet he's qualified to give advice on desegregating a school system?

My prediction is that he will spend the next three years continuing to build his brand and his business at ACPS' expense (both to the students and continuing to use ACPS resources). He'll leave when his current contract is up in 2025 but will stay on as a very well paid consultant.

Given that his focus is not on his job as superintendent...who is actually running ACPS? Is it Terri Mozingo? Gerald Mann? [/quote]

I just read the Introduction and Chapter 1 to his book. I think parents who spent the 2020-2021 school year treading water by trying to work full time and be assistant teachers at home will especially enjoy the swipes he takes at learning pods in Ch 1, [b]saying the choice to form them "explicitly" widened the gap between haves and have nots and "entrenched the color line in public education."[/b] Noticably absent is any discussion about the effects those who pulled their kids out and put them in private school had on the class and race divide.

What data does he cite on this? [/quote]

Hutchings is a fraud. If he cared about closing the racial learning gaps, he could be pushing for creative solutions to do so. Instead he's writing a book. [/quote]
