[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am appalled as a parent that some of you believe your child will learn better at home than school. Can they find the answers and write reports with AI easily and more quickly? Absolutely. Will they learn anything and be able to remember it? 99.9% of students will not. Unless your kid is absolutely brilliant, which means they can take some advance classes in a subject of their choose online. Many parents believe there kid is so smart, but the inflated grades tell parents they are smarter than they are. My guess is these are the same kids that cheat their way through test and do retakes and turn stuff in late and then say they are too smart for school.

Missing school will catch up to them as will cheating on assignments. I would love to see how these “too smart for school” kids are doing in their college. None of the current parents on here seem to know and I bet it’s because they are struggling because they never developed the building blocks needs to answer thoughtful questions.

Furthermore schools is suppose to be fun, if you finish early be social. Kids that miss school are 25X more likely to be depressed. [/quote]

I'm a parent that would love if teachers taught during class. My child is not too smart for school but she does need teachers who know their subject and are willing to teach and it is exhausting knowing she has three teachers that don't teach and there is no accountability on teachers when students are struggling due to a lack of instruction. I wish school was "fun" all the kids I talk to hate school because it is not fun-it's overly formal and prison like. [/quote]

What school is this? TBH there is probably 10% of the profession that is pretty poor just like any other job. If they truly are not teaching and it’s not just your kid telling you stories than report it to admin. Only way to get rid of a teacher even if it takes a few years [/quote]

It's not a school issue it's an FCPS issue. Teachers are bogged down with oversized classes, stressed by not enough planning and they are pissed off and quietly quitting. Admin is not firing anyone!! I feel bad for the teachers who feel this way and I feel bad for the students this broken system is failing. I'm not spending the few years my daughter has in high school trying to "get rid of a teacher" FCPS is failing and it's not just at the high school level.[/quote]

Yes too many illegals in fcps bogging down the system [/quote]
