[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public schools are just absolutely falling apart. The social breakdown of these areas absolutely dictates the necessity of private schools. [/quote]

Current sub and I must agree.  There are some FCPS schools where I will not accept an assignment.

I predict a mass exodus to private schools. This isn't the FCPS of 25 or even 10 years ago.[/quote]

Really? There has been a massive influx of money into FCPS over the past several years since the recession. Where is it all going?[/quote]

Ok, you asked. Every ES school now has a "niche" whether that is AAP or Head Start or performing arts or special education. That's expensive to maintain the theme, the services and the teachers. IEPs are expensive.

Also, diversity and unchecked immigration is exorbitantly expensive. Subsidized activity fees, school supplies and FARMS. It costs much more to educate a non-English speaking high school freshman than her native English speaking classmates.

FCPS can't be everything to every student and their families.  Look at job titles! Your neighborhood ES isn't just a principal, an admin team and classroom teachers. We have School Based Technology Speciialists, Parent Liaisons, Social Workers, Guidance Counselors, Psychologists, Asst Principals, Special Ed Aides, IA, Reading Specialists, Speech Teachers, ESOL teachers...[/quote]

Yep.
