    In elementary school the main thing is to be with your peers anyway. A kid who’s socializing at that age is developing his brain.

      Right, like no one expected math and reading scores to go up after spending money on a racism awareness program.

      But it has the term “woke” in it, so it makes for good rage bait.

        The scores went down. Since the school is struggling financially and is already behind, shouldn’t they be focusing on education? Wouldn’t that be a better use of 250K? and where did you get it was an awareness on racism? That isn’t the goal of the program.

          They have an extremely bad attendance and got it up 20 %. They wanted the kids to feel safe there, which is where racism etc. came in.
