[quote=Anonymous]Children are at school for 7 hours, and  two of those hours are for lunch, recess, and specials. There is only so much time in a school day. Teachers are teaching and working very hard. Many children do not meet benchmarks or “fail SOL” all over the country. Some of these children have low IQs, are just learning English, and have ADHD and can’t attend and are unmedicated or undiagnosed. Schools also don’t encourage practice of learning at home or HW nowadays because of inequality. Class sizes are large. Only one teacher per class except for Kindergarten. Kids have poor behavior that disrupts learning, and parents aren't disciplining or spending time with children at home. Not as many experienced and qualified elementary teachers because of low-pay and the entitled, litigious parents in FCPS (especially sped).

The point is there are many reasons why kids are not on benchmark besides that FCPS or teachers are failures at teaching. Ignorant assumptions and unreasonable expectations are rampant on this forum.  Very quick to always blame the public school system and teachers. FCPS obviously has room for improvement, but is doing alot of things right and we are lucky to have the opportunities here in this district. [/quote]
