No it isn’t. 2/3 of the schools are on track. If this is an attack why are t there more failing schools? The reality is that these schools are pretty bad and Arlington does have a two tier educational system. Hopefully this puts an end to the myth that all Arlington public schools are the same. This is why there is such a long waitlist for ATS. Parents know how bad these schools are and want an out.[/quote]

It’s a maga move to vouchers which maybe you support [/quote]

The confidence with which people state baseless conspiracy theories.[/quote]

It's easier than admitting that Dems have been running Arlington for a long time and we still have massive discrepancies between schools. [/quote]

okay so what's your plan? [/quote]
Buy a quality, evidence based math curriculum for the county.  Math scores dropped across the board last year and Duran literally said that he was just going to monitor and do nothing.  That's not okay.

Having teacher purchase random materials from teachers -paying-teachers websites to teach math is not a solution.   Directing middle and high schoolers to random internet videos and websites is not a solution.  Buying unused Envision workbooks each year is a total waste of APS funds, and has been going on for years now.  It's time for APS Teaching and Learning folks to get off their rears and figure out a solution.[/quote]

Ok that's math, one subject. Is that your entire plan to address what you say are massive discrepancies between schools? And how does the math curriculum fix that - some schools are doing quite welll now without it so is that really going to fix it at the ones that are not? [/quote]
