[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] FCPS doesn't feel like education is the MOST important thing. I mean a school system has other priorities, right?  
- 1 hour lesson from April-end of the school year. 
-delay in start of school by two weeks in the fall 
-3.5 hours of teaching time (including specials) for elem kids. count the hours 
-moved Mondays from synchronous to asynchronous
- kept the teacher planning days when we have already lost Mondays.

If Brabrand felt like education was the most important thing we would not be here. But let's keep it real.  The school board WE elected has been pretty useless so we should take some responsibility for this.

Yes, this is a part of my beef - what happened in March/April was a disaster, but I let that slide because it happened all at once/benefit of the doubt, but I am over it.

FCPS is clearly slow-rolling this with the tease of opening every month or so. Meanwhile, in Fairfax County, there's been exactly zero deaths of those 17 and under, 30 for those between 18-49, and 104 between 50-64. That's out of 56,000 cases. The vast, vast majority of deaths occur in those 65 and over. Seniors are teachers are both priority for the vaccine. Get the teachers vaccinated and get the kids back in school. This is ridiculous.

And this is not a long held view of mine. It has literally boiled over this past week as yet again opening dates are pushed back and the school board isn't even discussing it tonight.[/quote]
