[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't a FCPS-wide message or issue.  Why are we spending so much mental space trying to figure it out.  It could even be just a rogue principal who sent this out. I'd just put it to rest if it isn't a FCPS-wide email or issue.  Best to spend time on stuff that is a problem for everyone.[/quote]

The attitude of disrespect towards families and their resources, as well as the lack of self-awareness from FCPS, is certainly a problem for everyone. [/quote]

Except the message is NOT from FCPS.  Even if this is a real email that was sent to an entire school's student-family body (which we can't actually verify either since the OP is being obtuse about the facts), it would still be a singular school with a rogue principal.  We're blaming "FCPS" but the facts are: (1) FCPS did NOT send this message out to its entire student body, and (2) we have no idea that this was actually sent to a FCPS school (since the OP doesn't actually identify where this email came from).  Given this, we really should not start throwing darts at FCPS.   [/quote]

It’s verified below as being a FCPS school.

Leadership sets the tone. Telling parents how it’s no big deal to add early dismissals, lying about them, lecturing parents about how school isn’t childcare, and treating working families like garbage is what makes a principal think they can send an email lecturing parents about how many thousands of dollars they should spend extra so their kids can watch a movie on the Friday before vacation.  It is systemic.[/quote]
