[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from FCPS over 35 years ago. I’m a relic of the past. I recall spelling tests and school-wide spelling bees, graded handwriting homework, required daily journals (kept them all, by the way) from sixth grade through to some high school electives, research papers and extensive expository writing, literary criticism, vocabulary lessons, required reading lists and even diagramming sentences in seventh grade. I was so inspired and encouraged by my FCPS English and Language Arts instruction that I became an English major. I was well-prepared for the rigors of college and tutored classmates freshman year who had never written a research paper. I can attest that my own FCPS DC simply have not had the same experiences. FCPS has lowered expectations, reduced rigor and inflated grades. [/quote]
