[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who has the means and does not take their child out of FCPS and place them in a quality private school is doing their child a disservice.

With very few exceptions FCPS does not do a good job preparing kids with the critical thinking, writing and math skills they will need for a top US or UK university.

If you stay in FCPS you will need to supplement your child’s education with tutors and outside educational activities.

As others have mentioned most of your child’s friends won’t be in classes or at lunch anyway.  Make the effort to keep the friendships you want outside of school time. [/quote]

There are too many kids who graduated from FCPS and are doing well in T50 undergraduate programs or T10 graduate programs for this to resonate, although there are certainly some disturbing trends within FCPS (and the ludicrous draft equity policy augurs a further push for mediocrity over excellence).

We have to stop electing flakes to the School Board.  That means no more Karl Frisch, no more Melanie Meren, etc.  [/quote]

Good point, but FCPS has been going downhill for years, in part because of the board.   Where will FCPS be in six years when the kid is set to graduate or in a dozen for kids just starting out. [/quote]
