[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what?  Our kids still aren’t learning!   This is a nothing burger in the grand scheme of FCPS’ epic failure![/quote]

Are your kids seriously not being given assignments and work by their teachers?[/quote]

One child has received nothing but an email from the teacher saying to work on the packets, watch tv and cook and play board games. (5th grade)

Third grade teacher has set up a basic google classroom this week and posted a few worksheets.

Principal email this week said live teaching was canceled indefinitely.[/quote]

Wow. That's really disappointing.  My elementary team is sending daily pdfs with links to recorded videos for morning meeting, lanugage arts and math lessons, and some sort of special. Also providing worksheets and activities to go with the lessons if parents want to use them.

My child's middle school teachers have all made slide decks in google that the kids are to be working through each week. It's tough to motivate him to do it since he knows it doesn't count, but the opportunity is there.[/quote]

You are one of the lucky ones PP. Seriously. There is a very wide gap on whats being delivered on a school by school basis. Even if your kid is getting some direction and structure (and I'm glad they are), the fact there is such a huge disparity is indicative of the cluster.... that is currently FCPS. [/quote]

This is a no brainer, schools with better rankings provide better education and have better resources as well. This is a big County!

Really? My kids are at a school with a GS score that would make DCUM cry, and they’re getting daily resources to work through from all their teachers. I don’t think it has anything to do with rankings.[/quote]

Good for you! Still, schools in more affluent neighborhoods have better resources and provide better education and yes better rankings too.

Schools in poorer areas are usually Title I schools and thus get more funding per student compared to good schools in affluent areas.

Now, the PTA in an affluent school surely raises more money compared to a PTA in a poor area, but that's a small number compared to Title I funding.[/quote]
