[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much of this angst would dissipate if Dr. Reid and School Board members committed that, for them, "equal outcomes" means that every student who graduates from FCPS feels they now have the tools to pursue what they next want to accomplish in their lives?

That might be sensible.  As it stands, it seems to mean that FCPS should allocate as many resources as possible to the poorest schools to "ensure" that students at, say, Mount Vernon perform at the same academic level as students at, say, Langley.  Which we all know is never going to happen. [/quote]

Parents have seen how allocation works within schools and within classrooms. The last thing that any parent would want would be for the county to allocate resources to schools in the same way. Kids at Navy would be sharing a tent listening to a single teacher while kids at Hybla valley would each get their own teachers.  [/quote]

Or, as pointed out on this and other threads, you let achievement die off the vine. 50 floor, no homework,  no recognition for awards (TJ excluded, apparently nobody cares because everyone over there gets an award), no more vying for band or orchestra seats, no more science fair or other academic competitions, and no more academic clubs (if your MS even offered them) to develop skills, etc.[/quote]
