Hello John,
I am not sure why you added my email to your rant. I addressed my email to Jay
in regards to pronouncements he made and a flyer he sent to residents in
pursuit of public office. I am curious as to his understanding of certain
matters and I choose to clarify before making any

Do you care to explain what you understand critical race theory to be? Please
also explain where in Lincoln it is taught and how this might have contributed
to the suggested low achievement in Lincoln schools.
Thank you in advance.

All,
The reason I suggested looking a longitudinal trends is it would reveal whether
or not this is a new phenomena.
Don’t look at population trends as this is an argument about whether or not the
parents of school age children elect to send their kids to private vs public
school.
So, you need
After reading Scott's email, I wondered how Jay's concern about CRT
(Critical Race Theory --a subject taught in colleges and graduate schools)
has to do with his running for a seat on the Lincoln K-8 school committee.
I didn't receive Jay's flier and feel we all be able to understand.
Thanks,
A quick look shows a decline of less than 100 students in the past 20 years
from mass.edu’s site. The question is where did those students go? We’re
they home schooled, go to private school or a natural decline in residency?

Allen,
I would beg to differ. I’ll try and find the numbers but the enrollment
goes up and down. When I was in school we barely had 40 kids in our Brooks
graduating class. 25% then went on to private school. The enrollment then
went up around when Smith was renovated I believe.
And is there an

Sara is right: a lower birth rate and the resulting increasing percentage of
“Empty Nesters” and retired households in town are the biggest factor in
declining school enrollment - there are simply far fewer kids here than there
used to be. …This trend has been obvious for decades.

Just to clarify, the link that John gave for MCAS scores was for the entire

enter and leave the district every year with almost all students staying no

Mr. Dwyer,
As someone who advocates the use of good data before we jump to conclusions and
answers, that we diagnose accurately before we prescribe, what data have you
used to imply large numbers of students are leaving for private schools?
What have the numbers been over the years, decades?
Anyone have any idea of how to volunteer in Poland?

Bryce,
It is not a perceived problem, my child has expressed to me that he does not
feel challenged and does not think he is being pushed outside of one subject
where the teacher assigns more work, that is not perceived, that is a reality
for me as a parent. I am not a fan of MCAS and
now I am really confused…could this be read to suggest that the act of
constructing needs to be fossil-fuel free?I sure hope not.
