[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to push the blame onto parents and students, but many of these policies are a result of the urbanization of Fairfax County which brings families who are more likely to struggle academically. If FCPS was more harsh by giving 0s and actually failing students, we would have problems with too many students staying behind and likely dropping out eventually. It is a very difficult balance to help non-academic students move through the school system while teaching them a useful foundation but without destroying their sense of learning. This is a new era, and the days of 30 years ago where students came mostly from well-educated, white, federal government workers and everyone's finances were booming. The divide has grown immensely.[/quote] Agreed. FCPS' reputation rides on a strong graduation rate. Everyone graduated in 2020.[/quote]
