[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This video from 2012 says FCPS has over 50 parent centers including two parent liasons at Bucknell for the 200-300 students there. I'm really not understanding why these schools are failing. FCPS needs to figure this out.

But studies and more administration involvement from Gatehouse just sinks more money into these low performing schools, further triggering the too much spending alarmists.

The spending levels now just keep these schools from completely teetering off a cliff.[/quote]

Or maybe they just aren't doing things smartly. These schools don't need PTA's if they have parent liasons already hired through FCPS and weekly coffee hours and classes for the moms. We think FCPS's language arts curriculum for English speaking students is confusing and weak compared to their math program. I wouldn't be surprised if the bilingual language arts curriculum is poor as well. Also, our students perform the weakest on language arts, so perhaps there are not enough hours to cover the current language arts standards for the SOL's.[/quote]
