[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all have no idea what the actual issues in SF were. I knew this site was going to be full of terrible takes on this today.[/quote]

What’s your take?[/quote]

For one thing, they overshot their budget by $100M.

This isn’t about masks.[/quote]
1. They eliminated neighborhood schools so that any kid could basically get assigned to any school, anywhere in the city at random.

2. They changed names of schools for bizarre reasons, making the city a national joke.

3. They changed entry for the vaunted Lincoln HS from merit-based to lottery.

And there’s more. Just totally out of touch and incompetent. [/quote]

And all of that happened while the schools were closed. [/quote]

Most of this can absolutely be extrapolated to FCPS.

- Changed the names of several schools at up to $1 million dollars cost PER school, because the names were too racist

-Got rid of merit-based, race blind entry for the nationally known TJ high school in order to decrease the amount of Asians being admitted

-Spent $24000 dollars for a 45 min. Zoom call by Ibram Kendi

-One of the last districts to return to in person schooling and during virtual they had decreased the number of school days by 25% for the year.

-Lowered the pass grade for standardized testing and still had record number of fails

-Had no real return to in person school plans, they were too busy with pet projects. They had to have their hand forced just to get kids back in school 2 days a week and the State legislature had to pass a new law to require in person learning for this school year or they would have happily sat on their hands about it.

All while schools were basically closed.

Same with MCPS!

My MS kid rarely gets books assigned in English class, but the school was able to purchase Stamped by Kendi to teach the kids.  They got rid of SROs.  The 50% rule.  Restorative Justice.  It’s a mess.  [/quote]
