[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a couple years, this will have been a blip.  The same families, students, [b]and teachers will be here.[/b]  There's plenty of  complaining on this board, that's what it's for.  But while FCPS is (and has been) a bit soft  in the ES area, the MS and HS are very good.  [/quote]

FCPS HS teacher. After we go back to normal, only the teachers and staff slightly less useful than a sack of hair will still be around. Yes, there are plenty of those, so you'll be stuck with many of the same teachers. The ones with actual qualifications are over FCPS and teaching, and will be applying to other, better-paying jobs. The families and students will remain the same. Those with resources will supplement the crap curriculum and their kids will go to good colleges. Kids who are average and lower middle class and down will be ignored. FCPS leadership will continue to tout itself as a world class schools system. Life will go on.

I can't speak for ES and MS, but I have watched my highly rated high school go from academics-focused to feelings-focused. I'm a proponent of self care and mental health, but for admin to encourage an end of year party in lieu of ANYTHING that demonstrates your learning? Come on.[/quote]

This is a little dramatic but I agree with everything except the part that teachers and parents will leave. It is the same in my high school. Academics are not important and the focus is all on mental health and equity in name only. That means our admin tells us to slow down, waive assignments, don’t give tests and tell them to express feelings. In a high school honors math class.

The pendulum will swing again. We are way over on one side right now. [/quote]
