[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you had ever experienced schools in other states, you would be begging to return to FCPS. Yes, there are problems, especially at the elementary school levels. Class sizes are too big in many schools, but principals could stop hiring instructional coaches and put the money into classroom staff. There is a shortage of special ed teachers, who quit because they are so overworked. There are a lot of students with serious behavior problems who are not moved to appropriate programs. There is a lack of discipline at many schools, because principals don’t want to have to submit discipline data to the district or state, so kids are not managed effectively. And, we need freaking textbooks! Kids need to read for information and have a resource for reviewing their learning or working ahead. [/quote]

I went to school in NY. Schools are waaay better there. My husband went to FCPS. Our secondary school offerings were night/day. [/quote]

And I'm sure your pizza was better.  I graduated from a "regular" FCPS high school and did just as well at an Ivy as classmates who'd gone to Andover, Exeter, Stuyvesant, and public schools in Nassau and Westchester. [/quote]

Not saying that FCPS kids don’t fare well. Just comparing NY standards for their students. [/quote]

Also adding, special needs programming is way better. Anyone can get a 1:1 aide if in IEP[/quote]

Suuure.

And you believe that?[/quote

Um, I lived there and worked in the schools there. This is a fact. I could not believe how little sped support kids down here get. [/quote]
