[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are Repubs so scared of our current school board?[/quote]

I'm not a repub, but I attended school here and see the elementary programs in particular becoming very poor. Most of the people I know who are repubs have taken their kids out of the school system actually, so in actuality I think the community as a whole is more conservative than the average FCPS parent.[/quote]

The thing is, people have been saying this forever. Go back to the archives and check this board from 10 years ago. Same complaints. If DCUM existed ten years before that, you would see the same thing. But the truth is, all that has really changed is hyper competitive parents and how loud their voices are. Kids from FCPS are still doing outstandingly well in college admissions and life, in spite of the decades of complaining.

And parents who went here can't seem to wrap their heads around that pedagogy and strategies change and default to "if they're not learning the way I did, it's the wrong way." But no data supports that conclusion.

I won't even touch the super partisan conservative parents who freak out every time the schools try to adjust to the changing social times. [/quote]
