[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two in the schools, and I think FCPS are great. Older DS is in middle school and was in GE in elementary. He was only testing on grade level in reading so he had a daily individual reading session. They did writing every day. He was advanced in math and pushed into the AAP math class. He took honors Alegebra in seventh grade and did well.

Younger DS is in elementary and has severe ADHD. His school has been very accommodating. He gets individual breaks where a teacher will walk him when he needs a break. He gets individual work with his journal and they have challenging assignments.  He likes school and is learning.

Older DS's best friend goes to a local private, but is returning to FCPS for high school. His parents aren't that impressed and think it's a waste of money.  Too much hand holding that will not prepare students for college and the real work world.[/quote]

Sure, the schools do a good job with kids who have special needs or need extra help.  They do NOT do a good job with kids who are average/high average and don't need any accommodations.  They give those kids some worksheets and call it a day so they can devote more resources to the kids who need help.[/quote]

Speak for your own school.

My kid's elementary is doing a very good job with bright kids who are either not AAP or who decided not to go to the center.[/quote]
