[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people just want good, solid public schools that stress academics.

Our Superintendent and School Board are far more concerned about social and political issues.  I don't blame anyone who wants to look elsewhere.

Go back to the purpose of schools, and people will not leave.[/quote]

You can't separate out the academics from the issues that make it more difficult for a significant number of students to be able to focus on the academics and succeed.  Food insecurity, language barriers, transportation issues, abuse, unstable home lives, racism, antisemitism, special needs - these are some of the issues that need to be addressed in public school systems because they are barriers that prevent some students from being able to access and focus on the academics.  Not every student shows up to school well-fed, well-rested, clean, in a stable mindset and with a supportive family system.  Public schools need to meet kids where they are - not where a group of affluent privileged white people think they should be but aren't.[/quote]
