[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems to me the differences are largely with what one considers to be in-scope wrt "opportunity". My guess is that many of the initiatives you see as "pointless" are seen by others as a fundamental part of enabling equal access to a supportive learning environment where students can have the opportunity to thrive academically.[/quote] +100. Any effort or money spent on our neediest, and often poorest, kids is seen as wasteful since it doesn't cater to the needs of our county's top 5%. Those top 5% parents want to focus on "academics" but that really means focus on programs like extra advanced AAP and advanced coding and advanced robotics clubs, etc. Things that only a fraction of FCPS kids would benefit from. Public dollars should be spent on efforts that benefit the average general public, and that money is being spent on academics for the greater good, just not in a way that boosts the top 5% even higher.[/quote]
