The best??? All you’ve done is prove that children who come from upper middle class home where parents are college educated will score well on standardized tests. Doesn’t say a word about the learning experiences of the students. The kids at these schools would score exactly the same if they were placed in a Title 1 school.

You raise an important issue about the influence of socioeconomic status on education. However, the assertion that students would perform the same in Title 1 schools as in more affluent schools overlooks key challenges. Title 1 schools, which serve higher percentages of low-income families, often face additional hurdles such as higher student-to-teacher ratios and limited resources, which can impact the focus on and quality of education. Additionally, these schools frequently address more non-academic issues related to poverty, which can detract from learning. Research shows that poverty correlates with lower academic achievement due to factors like increased stress and reduced access to learning materials. Therefore, the environment and resources of a school significantly influence student performance.

Maybe trying learning about Title 1 before writing such drivel. The point of Title 1 is to provide funding for ADDITIONAL staffing and resources. Ask any teacher in FCPS who's worked in a Title 1 school versus a non-Title 1 school. Smaller classes, more content coaches, better technology, you name it. The families of the kids who are not in poverty realize what a prize they have.

And worse results. According to FCPS, once the poverty rate gets that high, even non-FARMS student performance suffers. They commissioned the study, unfortunately for them, enough schools are past the break points that it's an embarrassment

Link? Tried googling "fcps study high-performing students at title i schools" and came up empty.

DP. The study is often referred to as the "tipping point" study. FCPS commissioned it over a decade ago, when FARMS rates were lower than they are now. I'm surprised that they haven't pulled it off their web page, because they didn't do what the study recommended to balance FARMS rates at FCPS elementary schools and trying to balance the FARMS rates would be much harder now than it would have been in 2013. If you extrapolate the findings to FCPS now, you'd basically conclude that FCPS as a whole is probably screwed.

The families I have known who had kids in Title 1 schools either moved, applied for a language immersion program, or made sure that their kid was accepted into AAP and moved to the Center. None of them stayed at the Title 1 school. All of them said that the teachers were great, the Principal's were invested in the school, and that they realized that their kid was going to get very little attention in the classroom. My sample size is small, I know three families who have discussed their choices. But most people who are at a Title 1 school are there because they wanted a bigger house but didn't have the money to buy one in a more expensive part of town with better schools. Then they played the "How do I get my kid into a better school."

Our base school was a language immersion program and a good number of the kids came from schools that were Title 1 or near Title 1 schools. Entire families came to our school. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why. The kids were great and hopefully they enjoyed the program but they were not there because their family loved the language, the parents wanted their kids at a better school and were willing to drive them to school every day.

And we chose to stay at our title 1 school with language immersion and local level IV AAP.

Pains me to say this, but long, long ago my late father scrimped, saved, researched and even visited schools to determine the best FCPS HS pyramids for his large family. Dad was proudly Jesuit-educated from elementary to masters and only briefly considered Catholic schools. He determined the area parochial schools were inferior to FCPS.

How the tide has turned. DH and I are FCPS alumni and so also educated DC in FCPS. We have seen firsthand how our schools have declined precipitously.

If we had to do all over, we’d have gone private.

I could have written this. My parents also scrimped, saved, and researched in order to send my siblings and I to FCPS, which was (at the time) one of the very best school districts around. We lived in the least expensive house they could find in the best school district. The education we received really was world-class.

Our kids, also FCPS graduates, sadly did not receive the excellent education that I did. We would definitely have gone private had we only known - at least for elementary and middle. High school has actually been really good for my kids.

*my siblings and ME! So much for my excellent education! 😁

The best??? All you’ve done is prove that children who come from upper middle class home where parents are college educated will score well on standardized tests. Doesn’t say a word about the learning experiences of the students. The kids at these schools would score exactly the same if they were placed in a Title 1 school.

You raise an important issue about the influence of socioeconomic status on education. However, the assertion that students would perform the same in Title 1 schools as in more affluent schools overlooks key challenges. Title 1 schools, which serve higher percentages of low-income families, often face additional hurdles such as higher student-to-teacher ratios and limited resources, which can impact the focus on and quality of education. Additionally, these schools frequently address more non-academic issues related to poverty, which can detract from learning. Research shows that poverty correlates with lower academic achievement due to factors like increased stress and reduced access to learning materials. Therefore, the environment and resources of a school significantly influence student performance.

Maybe trying learning about Title 1 before writing such drivel. The point of Title 1 is to provide funding for ADDITIONAL staffing and resources. Ask any teacher in FCPS who's worked in a Title 1 school versus a non-Title 1 school. Smaller classes, more content coaches, better technology, you name it. The families of the kids who are not in poverty realize what a prize they have.

The families I have known who had kids in Title 1 schools either moved, applied for a language immersion program, or made sure that their kid was accepted into AAP and moved to the Center. None of them stayed at the Title 1 school. All of them said that the teachers were great, the Principal's were invested in the school, and that they realized that their kid was going to get very little attention in the classroom. My sample size is small, I know three families who have discussed their choices. But most people who are at a Title 1 school are there because they wanted a bigger house but didn't have the money to buy one in a more expensive part of town with better schools. Then they played the "How do I get my kid into a better school."

Our base school was a language immersion program and a good number of the kids came from schools that were Title 1 or near Title 1 schools. Entire families came to our school. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why. The kids were great and hopefully they enjoyed the program but they were not there because their family loved the language, the parents wanted their kids at a better school and were willing to drive them to school every day.

And we chose to stay at our title 1 school with language immersion and local level IV AAP.

Are you trying to be funny? My kid will end up in jail because they go to school with some poor kids? Let me guess you voted for the felon?

DP. I’ve heard this saying from several people zoned for certain schools. It certainly wasn’t an original saying from that poster.

You continue to have this faux outrage over tiny perceived slights, while all the time seeking to justify the SB sabotaging Fairfax families’ school pyramid choices with boundary changes. Really bizarre.

The best??? All you’ve done is prove that children who come from upper middle class home where parents are college educated will score well on standardized tests. Doesn’t say a word about the learning experiences of the students. The kids at these schools would score exactly the same if they were placed in a Title 1 school.

You raise an important issue about the influence of socioeconomic status on education. However, the assertion that students would perform the same in Title 1 schools as in more affluent schools overlooks key challenges. Title 1 schools, which serve higher percentages of low-income families, often face additional hurdles such as higher student-to-teacher ratios and limited resources, which can impact the focus on and quality of education. Additionally, these schools frequently address more non-academic issues related to poverty, which can detract from learning. Research shows that poverty correlates with lower academic achievement due to factors like increased stress and reduced access to learning materials. Therefore, the environment and resources of a school significantly influence student performance.

Maybe trying learning about Title 1 before writing such drivel. The point of Title 1 is to provide funding for ADDITIONAL staffing and resources. Ask any teacher in FCPS who's worked in a Title 1 school versus a non-Title 1 school. Smaller classes, more content coaches, better technology, you name it. The families of the kids who are not in poverty realize what a prize they have.

The families I have known who had kids in Title 1 schools either moved, applied for a language immersion program, or made sure that their kid was accepted into AAP and moved to the Center. None of them stayed at the Title 1 school. All of them said that the teachers were great, the Principal's were invested in the school, and that they realized that their kid was going to get very little attention in the classroom. My sample size is small, I know three families who have discussed their choices. But most people who are at a Title 1 school are there because they wanted a bigger house but didn't have the money to buy one in a more expensive part of town with better schools. Then they played the "How do I get my kid into a better school."

Our base school was a language immersion program and a good number of the kids came from schools that were Title 1 or near Title 1 schools. Entire families came to our school. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why. The kids were great and hopefully they enjoyed the program but they were not there because their family loved the language, the parents wanted their kids at a better school and were willing to drive them to school every day.

And we chose to stay at our title 1 school with language immersion and local level IV AAP.

Yale or jail

Are you trying to be funny? My kid will end up in jail because they go to school with some poor kids? Let me guess you voted for the felon?

DP. I’ve heard this saying from several people zoned for certain schools. It certainly wasn’t an original saying from that poster.

You continue to have this faux outrage over tiny perceived slights, while all the time seeking to justify the SB sabotaging Fairfax families’ school pyramid choices with boundary changes. Really bizarre.

No one is being sabotaged 🤣🤣🤣.

Says SB shill. It’s the textbook definition of sabotage.

Yeah not even close.

Legal Definition
sabotage

noun
sab·​o·​tage ˈsa-bə-ˌtäzh
1
: the willful destruction of an employer's property or the hindering of normal operations by other means
2
: the injury, destruction, or knowingly defective production of materials, premises, or utilities used for war or national defense

How ridiculously pedantic. (And we’ll forgive you for skipping over the first definition that comes up.)

Don’t change the fact that school board is looking to sabotage families’ school decisions.

As a veteran elementary FCPS teacher and as a graduate of an FCPS high school in the 1980s, let me offer a point of view.

So much of what contributes to a good school is the principal. There is very little oversight of a principal other than test scores. Principals often do not choose to report things like bullying and violence in schools through official channels, because they will get a phone call from the central office asking them why they can’t control their school. So they underreport or let things slide.

The best way to counteract that is to contact the school board for explanations of why situations are not being handled.

In terms of instruction, elementary teachers had textbooks taken away and instructional policy is made by people at Gatehouse who haven’t been in a classroom in years and who want to cut costs. They jump on bandwagons like whole language and don’t know what they are talking about,

The way to counter that is to take excellent teachers out of the classroom for a year at a time, have them report to Gatehouse to organize and lead teacher training, and then put them back at their schools.

Behavior is out of control because so many kids need more restrictive placements for a while to get under control, but there aren’t enough placements for severely emotionally or behaviorally disabled kids in private placements because the county no longer contracts with schools that use restraint and seclusion, rather than being sure such use is closely supervised and documented. So, the pipeline has backed up.

Kids at Burke School are regularly out of control, assaulting teachers, so that many Burke teachers are suffering from concussions (THIS IS FACT) and the police are frequently called to the building. There are no seats for those kids in private placements, parents refuse to get treatment for their kids, and it’s a zoo.

As a result, kids who should be at Burke are at CSS programs, and kids in gen ed who should be in CSS are stuck trashing classrooms and assaulting peers and staff.

There are many, many students in Title I schools who can barely read in the fifth and sixth grades. That is also a fact. Again, principals are not well-supervised and I know some who have lied to central office about what academic interventions are in place.

It’s a horrifying problem. As parents, please help by contacting your school board members, who are not educators and don’t know what is going on until you tell them.

FCPS is FCPS....every school similar but depends on the teachers and principals which seem to change at most schools frequently.

Laughable assertion given the wide disparities at the schools.
