My wife sent a letter to @MASchoolsK12 and Commissioner Riley a couple days ago. The @curleyk8 closed due to a COVID outbreak on Tuesday. She wrote it on Wednesday.

Here are some excerpts…

Today, my 2nd grader wrote an outline for an argumentative writing paper about deforestation, using evidence from his reading of The Great Kapok Tree.

His teachers started the day with a community meeting, using socioemotional learning strategies to connect with their students and promote self and social awareness. They transitioned to a lesson about finding the main idea in a text, & later taught geometric math concepts.

Say you have an arrangement with your neighbors to order pizza together every Saturday night. Your family gets 20 slices. The other families split about 10 slices among them. This goes on for years.
Then one of the neighbors says, “Wait. Maybe you should get 15 slices and the rest of us should split up the remaining 15.”

2/
I had only a few vacancies and was determined to hire qualified teachers of color. Because representation matters.

One white veteran teacher was unlicensed and had been given licensure waivers for about 6 years. I chose not to hire him back and instead…

Let’s say that you have a bunch of kids who would do great at an exam school. Some are wealthy. Some are not.

We know the wealthy ones pay for test prep. Or attend private schools like Holy Name that give all students A+’s.

The exam school policy MUST…

1/
… help level this playing field.

Rank ordering students for selection favors the wealthy. A one point difference in test score or grade can end up boosting a student 50-100 spots in the order. The task force favors rank ordering already.

2/
Setting aside 20% of seats at first to be assigned citywide on straight rank DOUBLES the disadvantage to students in poverty. Mr. Contompasis is fighting to put that back in, when it was taken out yesterday.
