DS attend a FCPS graduated in 2012.   Beside Gym class he didn't have an AA teacher till Freshman year in High School.  Why is FCPS doing this? [/quote]

You know what?  Now that I think of it, there is only one AA teacher at my children's school.  ONE!  My daughter had her in first grade and she a fantastic (and very well liked) teacher.  [/quote]

What is the percentage of AA students? Does the % line up with the % of AA teachers in the building?[/quote]

The point is to hire the BEST person for the job. We can't hire based on the race of the school!!!!! Then you practice race-based hiring, which is WRONG for so many reasons. It's wrong legally, professionally, morally etc.

We live in a very diverse world. And THAT is what should be reflected in our schools--not racial and economic segregation. You can't claim to offer a world class education when your system does not reflect the world.[/quote]
