My son’s experience in 9th grade left a lot to be desired. First off, at back to school night ‘for equity’s sake’ we aren’t going to let you go through each class on a schedule and have the teachers present to you, instead you can wander through at your own pace. This meant parents didn’t get to learn much at all about what was being taught. This was pretty appropriate since they typically don’t teach much in the classes. My son’s ninth grade English class consisted of op-ed articles from his favorite biased news organization. All year he taught a section on ‘thug life’ where they studied rap songs and BLM. No real books, discussion, no feedback on assignments. No final, no due dates and no homework. My son’s ninth grade got an A with the least amount effort ever. When I asked the principals why there were no due dates or homework they sang the praises of ‘grading for equity’.That was one of the worst classes. He also had an elective course on college and careers where the teacher told me they learn about what is special and unique about themselves. The entire class is plastered in several sexual identity flags and descriptions. I think every child should be feel safe, accepted and comfortable at school but I really don’t think we need a class for kids to focus on their unique traits and sexual identity. I think a class called college and careers should focus on colleges and maybe even careers. My son’s ninth grade passed ninth grade with great grades since all the grading standards have been lowered in the name of equity. They basically send the message to minority kids that since they can’t do it on their own because the system is against them, they will dissolve all challenges, give them a A and send them on their way. They act like they are against racism when they actually treat minority kids like they are incapable and victims. It’s really unfortunate. At the end of the day, unless your kid is in honors or CP classes (where the teachers are more likely to actually teach) they won’t learn much here.

madison is not a secured campus. Unveeifid visitors are allowed to pass thru the lobby into the school. Very unsafe especially in this time of violence in schools . Why doesn't the district not make more of a effort to keep their schools secured?
