[quote=Anonymous]I was educated in FCPS all the way through. I think some things are still good (I have two in HS) and some things are worse and I agree it’s probably because of a lot of trends that go well beyond FCPS. I think math and for the most part science at the HS level are really strong. Social studies has been by and large excellent. Reading/writing is where I think things aren’t great. My kids have had some very strong teachers that have tried (and my kids have been in AAP and then honors) but the trend towards PowerPoints and things like that for projects all the way through I don’t think is great. There’s way too much screen time all the way through with use of computer learning games, YouTube videos etc. I think some of this is trying to meet the kids where they are and some us educational laziness. I do wish screens were much more limited in the classroom at least until middle/HS. I do wish there were still textbooks in each class.[/quote]
