By the time the parents (who like to talk about the segregation/how safe their kids are and what a great education they are getting because they are in honors/AP classes) figure out the impact these proposed grading policies will have on their kids' college prospects...it will be too late.
The ostrich should be on Alexandria's city seal.

He tried to censor other members. He was terrible on city council. I'm sure he is a nice person, organizing coat drives and hair cuts for kids, but we need better.

Instead, all we get from the Board and ACPS is equivocation.
You are right but Alexandria voters are ok with academic failure. Look at the School Boards they elect and fawn over.
Well that’s true and it is so frustrating. In my district, Jacinta Greene is the worst one on this and the highest vote getter. It boggles the mind.
