Nope. Dem who has spent a lot of time thinking about education policy this year. Our schools are a relic of the 1950s and one size fits all. This is a great chance to overhaul that, make HSs smaller and more specialized, get a better voc tech track for HS, find a way to keep AAP from being such a mess, etc. we aren’t 1950. We have the technology and a different economy.

But, governments don’t innovate. They aren’t nimble. There is a role for the private sector in reimagining education. And public education needs to be reimagined. Why are sports vital for HS? Why not just have club teams and intermural? My DD is super isolated now, and needs some in person. But, with technology would be fine only going in 2 days a week and focusing on things better done in person. Maybe our schools don’t need to be so overcrowded. Maybe there is a role for kids to be hybrid if it’s done well. Or take some classes virtually and some in person. Maybe some kids would be better in a year round school model. Maybe Asian parents want a more Asian style education. Maybe that includes telelearning from teachers in their native country.

So not an R. Just someone who thinks it’s time for schools to get out of the life revolves around average kids going to football games and proms and innovate.

I love it. And please give me year round schools like they have in the UK and Australia. Thanks!

Oh, so you never have to deal with your children?

Teachers: You cannot create threads titled "Nasty parents - are you this mean in real life?" and then have some from your rank posting comments like this. I hope you realize the nastiness is going both ways (and I happen to think it's a small number of jerks on these boards spewing the hatred).

I posted that question, and I am not a teacher. Just tired of hearing parents wailing about how much they can’t stand parenting their children.

I've often wondered if this board is just the same 30 people talking back and forth.

It may be. Ha ha. I do find some interesting insights sometimes but I do have wade through a lot of empty writing and tired propoganda.

After Katrina, New Orleans became an all-charter school city. I think it’s the only one. It took a huge shock to the system to make it happen. I predict something similar might happen in some districts post-Covid. Maybe not quite as radical but there will, or, at least, should, be some major changes in those districts that failed the Covid challenge or were failing/struggling before - and likely during.

But you see, no one said that here. You're tired of people saying that, but no one said it. You were just looking for a chance to get that zinger in, weren't you? Feel better?

Parenting is a new, misguided concept. Being a parent is the goal. Ding a teacher 5 days a week never was. Stop dodging the fact that you guys failed.

Not being a teacher, I failed at nothing. But some of you are huge failures as parents. Big fat whiny babies.

Public schools are less likely to innovate if you pull the money out.

Push for change, NOT to defund schools.

Have you met our SB? They are incapable of change. Public schools aren’t innovating with a full budget. So, put the money elsewhere and let capitalism do its thing.

I'm sorry, but did you just say that the public schools have a "full budget?" What on Earth gives you that impression? Schools are underfunded.

If a school system has the money to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a motivational speaker during a pandemic. I would argue they are overfunded. Seems like that money would buy a lot of plexiglass.

Which school system did that? Yikes.

I wouldn't take that to mean that they are fully funded. Misusing funds, maybe. Is that FCPS?

Of course.

I’m ready to burn the entire school system to the ground. It’s not working an we need an innovative path forward. It’s broken in so many ways that it can’t be repaired. I grew up in a county with excellent public schools and tons of magnets. We had special language schools who quickly educated ESL and then integrated them. Vocational schools for kids who wanted to study auto mechanics, cosmetology or the trades. I went to an IB middle and high school and loved the education I received. It was a top 50 high school. I feel like I’m failing my kids and don’t know where to turn or what to do.

How can taxpayers make a difference? I’ve never protested anything in my life but I’m willing to for this. Can we vote out the entire school board? Vote of no confidence? There must be something parents can do. I feel like not one person has listened to parents.

That’s my though too. School systems can’t, so other people will.
