[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unpopular view, but I think it is mostly the large size of the district.  Arlington is not perfect, but seems to be somewhat better.  For example, APS added the ED Hirsch Core Curriculum in lower elementary (this is unrelated to Common Core).  A pity we can’t slice FCPS into 2 or 3 separate school districts.

It’s a fairly common view, but it won’t be tested until an area like McLean or Vienna tries to pull out of the county in a few years, which seems like an increasing possibility if the moratorium on incorporating new cities automatically expires next year and is not renewed by the divided state legislature.

This is what happens when SB looks to spend money on useless programs instead of on good instruction in all schools.  Those who push for boundary adjustments to "fix" it are not fixing the problem--it just hides it.

Boundary adjustments should be made for overcrowding, etc.  Not for social justice.[/quote]

But boundary changes have been made in the other direction, leaving some schools to handle the burden of the poor ESL students.[/quote]

Example?[/quote]
