No worries. FCPS doesn't follow Youngkin's policy. |
I kind of agree with this. |
Do you have a better solution? They can’t find enough teachers to do it. |
So by your reasoning the schools at the top are in the red parts of VA? |
DP here. Yes. When people frequently post complaints about FCPS that boil down to “equity”, it’s usually trolling. |
When equity is one of the driving factors in FCPS decision making, it’s not trolling but instead relevant discussion. People still disagree on equity and it’s role in FCPS, so that means people will most likely disagree with decisions that illustrate negative effects of that focus. |
Oh, yippy. Another uninformed commenter. To start, home prices hinge of numerous factors extending well beyond school quality. Not that I would expect you to do the research, but if you had, you’d know that many local neighborhoods are expensive AND in near-failing districts. I’m guessing you’re also unaware that Realtors can’t even discuss whether a neighborhood is safe/unsafe, let alone comment on the quality of the schools. Realtors being the mastermind behind school ratings? Good one. 👎 |
DP. Greatschools is king. Not sure why so many refuse to admit it. |
Be kind. They’re not trolling, just expressing frustrations about how they’re sick of seeing the dual quality of life and education system tanking in real time. In fact, I’m eager to know how your experience is any different—unless you don’t actually live here… |
Because it’s so formulaic. Listen-I think most people are not thrilled with FCPS right now. But a lot of it sounds like talking points from certain political groups. And it goes both ways-if I try to call out something that seems made up, I’m told I’m a LWNJ. Just in the past couple of days there have been threads/discussions within threads about: An OP terrified at the prospect of public school bc of “wokeness” and someone immediately after recommending they run to private schools. Whether elsewhere in VA has superior education/how to “flee” FCPS. If white people are being made to feel guilty in social studies. If LGBTAQ is being pushed on kids. I agree with a lot of the qualms regarding FCPS (weak LA/writing, not holding kids accountable, wonky grading). But it is not a secret or a conspiracy theory that right wing groups have capitalized on parents fears re: state of education and discontent re: Covid and ran with it. But I don’t think for a minute they give a damn. I just wish the Democrats would listen to parents and teachers concerns re: academics and behaviors. |
Teacher robots. |
Probably time to look for a private school. |
Test scores = “MAGA trolls” ?? Please explain. |
NP. Agree. |
Other than being a website parents use to gauge the education quality of a school, are you saying realtors had something to do with creating the website? Or are you claiming they influence ratings? I'm highly confused. Mainly seems like you don't like realtors. Most parents (living in homes and apartments) are usually interested giving their kids a quality education. |
