PP.  In my DD's case, this all happened before the pandemic.  Equity meant completely ignoring the above average kids and not teaching them much of anything.[/quote]

That just means FCPS class sizes are too large.

True, but it also means that FCPS has no idea how to handle below grade level learners and not a lot of interest in teaching kids who are going to pass the SOLs even if ignored.  If year after year, the below grade level kids are getting 30+ minutes per day working in small reading groups with the teacher and another 30+ minutes in even smaller groups with reading specialists, and they're still never catching up to grade level, some part of the process is malfunctioning pretty badly.[/quote]

Agree. FCPS has spent the past 15+ years not actually teaching kids to read, the result of which is that there are many kids in FCPS who can’t read on grade level (imagine that).  The county is finally working on adopting a reading curriculum that aligns with the Science of Reading, but it is going to take time to see the real benefit of that.  Your post is exactly why my DD is at a private school that focuses on kids with dyslexia and is finally learning to read and write, and she is doing accelerated math that she wouldn’t be eligible for at her FCPS elementary school.
