[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm 50 and grew up attending all FCPS schools. They actually were excellent at the time. I now send my own kids to them, and sadly they are no longer excellent. Maybe compared to other areas, but not compared to how they used to be. FCPS has coasted on its reputation for far too long. I think they got complacent in the 80's and just let things slide. Grammar, writing - these are just not emphasized enough. It's sad that they've gone downhill. [/quote] The demographics have changed considerably since you were growing up as well. [/quote] PP here, and you are correct - they have. But still, the quality of the curriculum is not nearly what it used to be. Maybe in high school, but definitely not in elementary or middle. Too much reliance on "technology in the classroom" and not enough actual reading and writing.[/quote]
