[quote=Anonymous]I see a lot of gaps. So do others. But it might depend on your school and your expectations. I think a lot of parents in FCPS can relate to the post on the thread in the link, below, at 13:30 (not mine, but it really summed up what the next 10-15 years will probably look like for our family)

All that being said, every teacher and staff member I have met/interacted with is doing their best with the resources and support they have. It would be great if I could just drop my kid off at the bus and they would some how, magically, get the perfect level of directed education that their potential could meet. That is a grossly unreasonable expectation given what the public school system faces - specifically, a wide range of needs from all comers, as they are when they show up.

In fact, that is one of the main benefits of public school, in my view. Adult life is full a situations where you need to be able to identify what resources you need to succeed, and get them for yourself. You don’t just get to show up and be given what you need. Only you are responsible for finding out what you need and only you are responsible for obtaining it. I tell myself that my DC is experiencing this skill first hand. Time will tell.

So, recognizing that my expectations for what I should give my DC are different from what the school system could possibly supply, I supplement, and that is fine. To each their own, I say. [/quote]
