[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously OP should reach out. But if there isn;t a requirement for counselors to document they have reached out to parents in these instances, there should be. It is frustrating to me that there is all this talk about equity in APS and then the school is depending on parents to reach out in situations like this. Obviously some parents have a lot more bandwidth to reach out than others. [/quote]

I'm so sick of everything coming back to "equity." this has nothing to do with equity. Any family whose student, regardless of background, should be contacted. The policies and procedures should be the same for every student. The "inequity" part is that some parents take the initiative and others don't.[/quote]

I hate the way they use “equity”. Really equity should mean that students who need more help, get more help. Passing everyone along without the kids learning anything doesn’t help anyone, least of all the kids who are failing and will end up leaving school with no skills. [/quote]
