[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, he’s going to have to pivot at Wakefield. It’s the Hispanic parents who want more discipline. They have asked for SROs to be reinstated. They want the kids who are violent, abusing drugs, etc. to be thrown out. Safety matters to them. They risked their lives to get to the US to give their kids a better life. They don’t want them to die in a bathroom at their HS because nobody was allowed to step in before things got out of control. The real racism is lowering expectations for academic and behavior in the name of “equity.” [/quote]

Yes, this will be a clash.  APS parents universally want 100% transparency, and most want police called at the hint of anything serious on campus.  My impression is that if he holds these beliefs deeply, he’s not a good fit for Wakefield families and teachers…  then Alexandria can have him back!  Or… was he just going with the prevailing sentiments in Alexandria county, and will be a completely different leader here?![/quote]
