[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that really what they’re saying now? Wow. [/quote]

Who said that?  Where and what was the context, OP.?[/quote]

DP, but the phrase "equal outcomes for every student, no exceptions" was in a Power Point presentation made recently by one of FCPS's equity consultants, Performance Fact, Inc.

Dr. Reid made similar comments about how her "life's work" had been to "ensure equitable opportunities and equal outcomes for each and every student" shortly after she was hired.

No one knows how you ensure "equal outcomes," or what it even means, but it's a convenient justification to spend more on students in poorer areas and deny resources to other schools deemed too wealthy. [/quote]

Do you genuinely think Langley and Mt. Vernon should be given the same amount of resources? [b]FCPS hardly needs to lift a finger in order to meet most of Langley's needs.[/b] They already offer a wide variety of AP, post-calculus math, unique world languages, etc. On the other hand, FCPS is completely failing to meet Mt. Vernon's needs.[/quote]

People in that area know that's how FCPS thinks.  It's one, though not the only, reason why the percentage of kids in the Langley district going to private schools is so high.

Mt. Vernon fails because FCPS saddled it with IB, and then builds a huge addition to West Potomac so kids don't get redistricted to Mt. Vernon - all while talking about its commitment to "equity" and "equal outcomes." It reinforces the message that even FCPS thinks the school is to be avoided.

Step by step, FCPS leadership is ensuring the system's decline.

Your first point is bs.  Your second point is mostly bs too.  [/quote]

Truth hurts.  But I get these are hard times to be defending the faux progressives running FCPS.  [/quote]
