AVID = Advancement Via Individual Determination.

I just had to sit through a Professional Develpoment Day at the High School I teach at because our district spent a million dollars getting this ridiculous program instituted in all our schools some years ago and we are now expected to incorporate it into our regular classroom curriculum.
It is the most ridiculous bunch of politically correct buzzwords and gobbledygook I have ever seen.
PLEASE SAVE US PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Make these awful people go away.
All the teachers were looking at each other going "WTF" and cursing under their breath about how stupid it is during the SIX HOUR presentation by some fuzzy-thinking libtard doosh-wits. .
This sick idea has spread through America's education system and needs to be stopped. It is a poison that is designed to keep our students stupid. .

Whatever happened to right wingers believing the States should handle education?

Now you want his Royal Majesty dictating the curriculum in every school in the country?

@Cliff-Mashburn said
Excuse me...that's exactly what's going on when Mr. T abolished the DOE.

@no1marauder said
Well he can't really do that, but anyway you were pleading with him to abolish the AVID program which is one the individual schools districts decide whether to have or not.

So make up your mind.

My school (staff, students, parents and all) is very liberal and embraces DEI etc. I haven't heard of this program but it's exactly the kind of thing that we would be into. I would not be surprised if I get that training soon.

AVID was introduced in 1980 by a teacher in the San Diego, California school system, and you haven't heard of it? it has infested school districts all across America for 45 years and this is news to you?

Student Success:
AVID students demonstrate higher graduation rates and increased persistence into the second year of college.
Academic Performance:
Students in AVID programs often maintain a higher GPA and are encouraged to enroll in rigorous coursework.
Social-Emotional Outcomes:
AVID programs can lead to reduced stress, increased self-efficacy, and higher school engagement.
Addressing the Opportunity Gap:
AVID aims to close the opportunity gap in education by supporting students who are often underrepresented in higher education, including low-income, minority, and first-generation college students.
First-Generation College Students:
AVID helps students who are the first in their families to attend college.
Positive Impact on College Performance:
Students cite the AVID high school experience as having a positive impact on their college performance.

AVID students demonstrate a higher persistence rate into the second year of college.

AVID's Effectiveness:
The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) endorses AVID's effectiveness, recognizing its positive impact on student outcomes.

By the time Trump is through Elon Musk is going to have to move to India to find engineers because Americans won't be allowed to study science and the USA won't be allowed to import them either.
