[quote=Anonymous]I remember when we left FCPS and moved our kids to elsewhere in Virginia. Our upper elementary student came home after the first day of school sort of freaking out. I asked what was wrong. Did you get bullied? What happened!? Kid said the teachers and students were nice and fine, it was the assignment they got to write a three-page, single spaced essay with subheads due in a week that had them freaking out. In FCPS, kid had never written more than a few paragraphs, and mostly fill in the blank worksheets. Suddenly, kid had to write a real essay that was organized, well written, and researched with sourcing. The other kids in class were used to doing it, our kid was not. I had to sit with kid and coach them through it. In that moment, I realized just how far ahead other schools in the state were compared to FCPS.[/quote]
