[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It’s frustrating to see the likes of the FCPS school board deliver state government to the Republicans. The Rs will do as much as they can to privatize public education, which could wreak further havoc on the public schools, but then the lack of attention to the basics (academics, facilities, civics) by people like Tholen and her ilk is what helped Youngkin cut into the margins in NoVa and win. What a shame the Democrats on the SB haven’t managed to do the simple jobs they were elected to do.

Well I am sure the Republicans appreciate all the help they got from Fairfax and Loudoun Democrat-run school boards.

They sure as hell were celebrating after Youngkin won.[/quote]

I attended all public schools--state university for undergrad and a university in a different state for grad school.
I taught in public schools.
My kids graduated from public schools.
My DH is a product of public schools.  His mom worked in public schools.
I never wanted or thought i would consider private schools for my kids.

I hope that public schools will once again turn into places where the emphasis is on the students and academics--and not as social petri dishes.  
This School Board encourages me to consider that private schools are a better route.

I went public k-12 and had  no reason to think I would regret putting my kids in FCPS. I wish I had insisted on private for Fall 2020 but mu kid trusted FCPS (I did too) when they promised kids could go two days a week and it was a disaster when they yanked the rug out from under him.[/quote] Exactly our situation. I felt let down by FCPS last year and have lost trust in public schools altogether. Pondering now whether to go with MHS for next year given the horror stories of the overcrowding there. Apparently McLean has become very stressful for students, given the extreme enrollment numbers this year.  [/quote]
