[quote=Anonymous]Well said :48.

I'm also a FCPS (2-12) graduate and when my parents first moved to the county in the mid 1970s, my parents were searching for a Catholic school for me. They wanted me to have the same educational opportunities and high expectations as the Catholic school I was leaving.

Someone told my parents (who both were products of Catholic schools) that FCPS were vastly superior and a better choice. They were always so proud of their decision!

Now, I'm a FCPS parent with teenagers. If I had to do it all over, I would have chosen private schools for them, starting in K.

As another PP said, when was the last time the FCPS Board rallied or even lobbied for something--anything--academic?
Entirely too much focus on political issues; meal tax, transgendered students, anti-bullying, equity...in the meantime, our schools get exponentially more crowded, schools have "temporary" trailers, cabins, learning cottages, modulate, annexes, whatever euphemism fits- for decades.

Most elementary schools serve breakfast and lunch out of necessity. My elementary school never had guidance counselors, social workers, a school psychologist or a parent liaison.

The school system is bloated and trying too hard to be accepting and diverse (which isn't a bad thing) but in trying to be inclusive, lost its edge and rigor.
