[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is such a Very Important Issue, other than sending Very Stern Self-Important Emails, what is FCPS doing to engage with parents to make a strong case for why they should lose money and time? It’s a business proposition.[/quote] Why should schools spend resources trying to convince parents to send their kids to school? It’s not a business; it’s a free public good. [/quote] If it’s a free public good, there would be no problem with my choosing not to avail myself of it for a few days this winter. Since FCPS seems to have money on the line, they can start working harder to make it make sense for those few days to be spent in school. Right now it would be foolish. I welcome them to do better.[/quote] Agree. Better for the schools to skip the attendance emails and not tie funding to attendance when families do not prioritize their children’s schooling. [/quote]
