[quote=Anonymous] Former FCPS employee from 2016-2022. Assigned to 118 distinct schools. Can confirm that this “attendance optional/no learning/glorified daycare” has been problematic (and gotten progressively worse) since my first hand experience. Look at the school calendars post SOL (or just ahead of HS grad). Award ceremonies, patrol picnics, class parties, end of year assemblies, field day (no longer competitive- just walking around). Classrooms get packed up and move watching begins. Most HS now have a “senior internship” program (Langley, Madison, Oakton, Marshall to name a few) where seniors do NOT come to school but use the 2 weeks+ to volunteer/work with a parent/“do something meaningful.” Parents miss this, but the first two weeks of ES are chaotic with very little instruction- it’s all administrative with last minute registrations, tours of the school, specials starting, mandatory screenings beginning. Are kids isn’t learning [/quote]
