[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]False.  FCPS is not better than LCPS or really any other local county.  They love to hype themselves, but in our experience FCPS is just not great at all.  [/quote]

would you care to share a little more of your experience? Is this for elementary/middle/high ? And if there are more specifics on what you liked or disliked about either ? [/quote]

10 years as an FCPS teacher, 10 years as an FCPS mom (that's not including a few that we did in private, because our FCPS elementary was so bad).

What I disliked as a teacher:  bad teachers, no accountability for administrators, constant instructional fads pushed on teachers, tons of time wasted in pointless meetings and "trainings"
What I liked:  good teachers (FCPS is about 70% good and 30% awful)

What I disliked as a parent:  horrible administrators with no accountability, bad teachers, instructional fads that were forced on teachers who had no idea how to use them, PTA bullies who were given special privileges by horrible administrators
What I liked:  a couple of really good teachers (gone now thanks to the horrible administrators)

That's for elementary and some middle.  I never taught in high school, and we went private before then.  [/quote]
