[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were already planning to move from FCPS given the handling of this year, would this news finalize your decision?[/quote]

I don't love the way FCPS jerked everyone around this year, but thought the majority of teachers tried their absolute best with the very crappy hand they were dealt. I don't think any of the surrounding counties handled it any better, nor did the places that opened "full time in person". It was a hopefully once in a life time unforeseen situation but not something that will alter the likelihood that my kid will be able to compete globally.

The proposed changes to math are a different matter. I don't see a lot of support for this amongst math teachers, which is a huge red flag. The other is that the places that already tried it had a lot of problems which were mostly glossed over. I don't buy it that even the best teachers can successfully differentiate to a class full of kids where some are multiple grade levels ahead and some can barely read three digit numbers, especially at the secondary level. I would seriously consider private school for my kids if these changes are implemented. [/quote]
