Thanks for the offer, Mike. I'll limit myself to one monumental question for the moment:
What is district policy on social promotion?
When I posed this query at a recent meeting, the response seemed to indicate there *was* no policy, just a history of not discussing it.
Since social promotion has wrecked havoc in public schools for decades (as Chicago and Los Angeles finally admitted a few years back), I would like to know how Moscow is going to resolve this regrettable activity.
Until this bedrock problem is corrected, I see little point in pouring more fuel on the fire.
