[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look what SBG did to Baltimore schools, it will do the same to FCPS. [/quote]

Yes, that was clearly the only difference between Baltimore and FCPS so that comparison is totally rational.  :lol: [/quote]

Some of the schools in Virginia are not that much different than some of the Baltimore schools. The reports from Baltimore were for the entire city, not just the bad areas. Some parts of Fairfax look very different than Madison. With this system implemented there it will likely drop those high schools. The Wakefield High teachers all petitioned against this program because they know it hurts disadvantaged students even more than wealthy ones. [/quote]

To attribute all challenges a school system may have to SBG is intellectually dishonest. What is your goal here? Make ridiculous comments to trash FCPS?

No. I didn’t bring up Baltimore but since it’s supposed to help disadvantaged students it’s an important point to show that it actually doesn’t.

Parents didn’t bring this change. I was never asked if my student needed this grading system before it was implemented. There was no push from anyone to bring down FCPS. Kids parents and teachers have been blindsided by a policy no one asked for. It was specifically brought forward by administration not teaching students pushing equity and I’m sure they have good intentions but the reality is that this program does not work for anyone.
