[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from Fairfax County schools. I'm a liberal Democrat. I agree the teaching has gone down hill. On the
Right you have crazy parents complaining about stupid shit like CRT and book banning. On the left you have crazy parents complaining about equity and renaming everything and disassembling AAP/TJ. The kids in the middle suffer because of this nonsense. Period. We pay way too much in taxes to get so little from our schools. I don't blame the teachers who are doing their best. But parents, administrators, the school board are ALL at fault. [/quote]

I wouldn’t say teachers are blameless.  Most of this equity push is overcorrection.  People are trying to overcompensate for the sins of the past and the consequences they caused others.  If previous generations of teachers hadn’t been so biased and hateful against students with disabilities and minorities, folks wouldnt be demanding so much oversight and accountability now to overcompensate.  It’s like when Trump got elected and all the liberals ran out of their minds to the far far left.   Hopefully soon we’ll settle down somewhere in the middle.[/quote]

A lot of it had to do with No Child Left Behind, which led to a focus on accountability measured solely by test scores.  Everything flowed downhill and it made the lives of many teachers miserable.

If you're tired of getting constantly dinged for not being a miracle worker, then of course you're going to hop on an "equity" bandwagon if part of that platform is that tests are inherently racist and biased and need to be eliminated or scaled back.  [/quote]
