[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I reiterate my point that a significant problem in Arlington specifically is the number of employees paid by APS whose job is “curriculum.”   Syphax is bloated with people who do not have any direct contact with our children (and barely any with teachers), and their entire job function centers around reviewing and identifying science, math, LA, etc curriculum; which textbooks is APS using: are teachers trained in the new curriculum; blah blah blah.   It’s the same with the APS tech department which is totally a creature unto itself.  As a result of employing these people, APS now spends countless taxpayer dollars revisiting, revising, retraining curriculum at all levels.  It’s so incredibly wasteful and detrimental to our children.  The idea that we as a community want the newest science or reading curriculum to very single year is just nuts.  It’s my opinion that if we cut a significant number of these Syphax jobs, parents and teachers and kids would be happier and smarter. [/quote]
