I've read some of the linked documents now and I have a kid that is reaching kindergarten age and in SFUSD. The kid's been in some of the SFUSD preschool programs since it seemed to be the only source of certain autism related services before kindergarten age.
Given the kinds of communication I receive from the district (the majority are coordinating welfare programs rather than supporting some academic mission), recent news, and these sorts of standards cropping up, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that I should avoid the public school system here. The preschool is dealing with such basic things that it probably doesn't matter, but as time goes on the picture doesn't sound promising.
So to take this discussion off on a tangent... is private school the only real option? Are there home-schoolers here that can provide some insights? I did mention he's autistic, but very high functioning and we're already making progress without the aforementioned district autism services anyway. Anyway, not sure where to start in the Bay Area and this head-shaking document prompted the thought to ask.
- jxramos 6y agoare you saying the content in the communications materials emanating from the SFUSD are not very "mission oriented" for lack of a better phrase, for what you'd consider a schools mission orientation should be?
