I don't mean to be snarky but have you tried addressing this with the principal at your son's school? Posting here doesn't seem like the appropriate venue if your goal is to get this situation addressed and rectified. You haven't even named the school.


There are only three schools with sixth grades in Alexandria. He goes to one of the two big ones. The principal is not going to change anything. It would have to be addressed separately with each of my son's six teachers.


It is the principal’s job to address your concerns with your son’s six teachers.

I am guessing that your kids are younger and that you do not have kids at a large ACPS middle school. I can't even get his 504 plan implemented, but luckily, since there is currently so little substantive work, it does not matter.

This. Well except we are in a small ACPS elementary school and it all falls on deaf ears. Nothing changes no matter who you talk to (we've been thru the teachers, principal, and central office).

Moved his daughter to BI in anticipation of his closing the public schools for the entire school year. Her friends, not him or the school board, broke this news.

Kept the schools closed all year and brags about himself on CNN.

Touts the we are in a dual pandemic of COVID and more importantly racism, while white kids are largely doing fine remote and Black/Latino dropping out at historic highs.

TCW only local high school in VA not to have a winter sports season. Again the white kids playing club sports and all good, those that can’t afford it just miss a year of sports.

Strutted like a peacock as himself and teachers received vaccine before stage 4 cancer patients. And still no school opening even hybrid. Not one student in class. Zero.

Amazing performance.

Anonymous wrote:This is just anecdotal but a teacher at our ACPS elementary played a video of her class today. It was half its usual size and every student was white (this school is very diverse). It honestly looks like students of color have simply disappeared from school and fallen off the radar. Truly tragic.
