Sent the following to the district. They have not answered. Doubt they will.
North Shore district shut down voluntarily a week before Seattle, and they implemented remote learning. For ALL of their students. It is insane Seattle refuses to do the same. They could give all middle/high F&RL a laptop for $400 and supply each household with WiFi probably at a Corp rate of $20/month/site. That is doable for the 18,000 students. Why they don’t is evidence of their incompetence. Or malfeasance. Or both. If they really want to solve inequality, and were actually sincere, step one would be to give tools to the “have-not” kids to even the playing field with their peers who “have”. Every kid from a “have” home has access to Kahn Academy, etc, on their laptops with their WiFi. If one of the problems is that not all kids have this - then fix it. Because the haves are still learning. The worry and focus should be on the have-not kids. Shutting school down does nothing to help them or budge the needle on inequality. Meanwhile, AP exams are looming. -burned
“What is Seattle public schools doing about AP exams?
Private schools throughout Seattle continue to deploy professional teacher-directed high school instruction. SPS has said it will not due to equity concerns.
So, what is the solution you are deploying for all students who are taking AP exams this May?
The College Board has said that school districts may apply for late testing window, pushing exams toward the end of May, have you done that? How will you communicate that action directly to students and families?
With all Seattle public high schools closed March 16 - April 27th 2020 and students specifically barred from their teachers’ instruction, they have no access to course instruction, thus Seattle Public School students are not and cannot adequately be prepared to write AP exams. This is especially poignant considering that their peers in private schools continue to get instruction, and that ALL schools on the East Coast of the US start school a full month earlier than Seattle.
Please communicate specific action plan to facilitate “educational excellence”, steps taken so far, and your contingency to ensure all SPS students are prepared to excel on their upcoming AP exams, which is what equity demands.
This is very high stakes: as you know, AP exam results determine credit and course selection for college-bound students as well as running-start students.
Anyone aware if applications to private middle school increased this year? Or are acceptance rates just really low? Applied to four schools but waitlisted at all of them. Child has good extracurriculars, grades, recommendations, and test scores.
