More Hypocrisy from Hynes & Palchik

[Anonymous]

The educational policies these two propose which include reduced metrics and reduced schoolwork only serve to pass the buck along. At some point, kids with lower skills find they can't handle college and the careers they'd hope to have. It is a better strategy to get kids more help when they are younger so they can actually handle the workload. TJ is already in one of the poorest areas of the county. It is not lack of accessibility that is holding kids back from the school. Increase pre-k, continue to offer parent and child support services, and propose redistricting to decrease percentages of FARM students to help minority students.

They voted to increase the concentration of poverty at Luther Jackson.

Yes to all this - and give parents a choice - charter schools...

There's no more need for charter schools in FCPS than there was for TJHSST. At some point, they'll figure out that common-sense approaches that don't, for example, require expanding a bloated program like AAP to appease special-interest groups isn't the way forward. But it won't be Palchik, a TJ grad, or Hynes, a limousine liberal, leading the way forward.
