Walk into any AF school and the truth will be seen - Students being demeaned and disciplined for not
meeting ridiculous expectations, unacceptably high suspension rates, unacceptably low Special Education numbers and alarming Special Education noncompliance, predominately white leadership that is filled with hubris and a deep disconnectedness with the school's children and families, burned out teachers, high teacher turnover, etc..
Meanwhile publishers sink huge quantities of money into creating
ridiculous levels of artificial hype in order to sell the next big thing, creating a level of
expectation which can never be truly
met.
