[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone seen the video of the facilities at Carmel HS that is making the rounds?

I know that what happens inside a building is more important than the building itself but the disparities between the facilities at that school and some of the run-down facilities in FCPS really make me feel guilty for living in a school district like FCPS that spends so much time on abstract discussions about “equity” yet pays so little attention to the condition of its facilities that trailers and cheap modulars are now just taken for granted.

Shame on Fairfax County and shame on FCPS!  For a supposedly wealthy county, we don’t even come close to a random suburb of a mid-sized city in the Midwest when it comes to providing for our kids. [/quote]

I have worked in FCPS and been a parent in FCPS.  It's disgusting.  The cleaning people don't do anything that actually involves making things clean, and the schools are renovated and upgraded so infrequently that some of them closely resemble - and smell like - a prison.  When I moved my son to private, the first thing that completely shocked me was how clean the school was.  It didn't smell, the floors were gleaming and new, the walls were freshly painted, the whole school was just beautiful.  It made me so sad to think that basic cleanliness, and an environment that isn't out and out depressing is something you have to pay for.  [/quote]
