[quote=Anonymous]Students are tracked. Told they are gifted, or not, or how gifted - it pits students against each other. Only a limited number of spots in AAP, so parents fight fiercely. It's so toxic. In HS, which should not have tracking, class grade distributions for the same subject are all over the place. No predictability. No consistency between schools or classes of the same subject/level in the same school. FCPS are handed students, the vast majority are, of the well educated, the well off. FCPS does an ok job, but FCPS is not the reason these kids are doing well in life and headed to college.[/quote]
