[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There should be something done for Fairfax County residents to get some tax dollars refunded due to the lack of education provided by FCPS.[/quote] What lack of education?[/quote] Distance learning === lack of education. Not just academically but developmentally. If you're a teacher and making this comment, you're delusional and are actively harming children.[/quote] If this is true that distance learning equals a lack of education, how are the majority of homeschooled children as successful or more successful than public school children? Truly curious.....and don't tell me that homeschooled children have parents at home committed to their education. That is VERY often a lifestyle choice, and a societal and cultural choice/value. Sorry....but the lesson to be learned here may be that our society is built on tenuous ground when parents claim that their children will literally DIE without the school system. Perhaps a change needs to be made from the bottom up. I'm sure this type of concept will receive backlash, but I think it says a lot about our culture and society that we should take seriously. It's a house of cards. [/quote] I learned it. Which is why the pandemic has made me such a proponent of vouchers and charters and money following kids. Then I will take charge of my kid’s education. Sorry, I can’t teach calculus. But, I can ensure it happens. [/quote] From the WaPO today: [i]KIPP DC and Friendship — the city’s two largest charter networks — plan to return up to 20 percent and 50 percent of their students, respectively, to classrooms in some way in March. [/i] You were saying? Oh and, from the census bureau: [i] The share of adults living without children has climbed 19 points since 1967 to 71.3 percent.[/i] Go for it. Dismantle the public school system in favor of private options. But don't expect vouchers. You get the 50% of your property tax bill that goes towards schools back and good luck. Hope you don't have too many kids.[/quote]
