[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See subject. I’m not talking about individual teachers. I’m talking about whether the system is set up to care about students as humans as opposed to widgets.

Should FCPS only care about providing a teacher who teaches focuses solely on academics ignoring also other aspects (eg, behavior, personal issues) or should it care only about getting kids out the door in 12th grade regardless of grades?

Should it care about students welfare out side of school or their mental health?

If a parent sees a problem outside of school that may impact what happens inside of school, should they bother keeping school/FCPS informed?

If there are issues happening in school (eg, bullying) that may impact what happens at home, should FCPS/school inform the parents?

—Insisting on edtech for young children despite the evidence (which has been around for awhile at this point) that it is neurologically and socially stunting

—crap cafeteria food knowing how important nutrition is

—instructional fads so inadequate that many families had to teach reading themselves, leading even the local NAACP to call them out for this disparate impact

Etc

No the system doesn’t give a good gotdamn about what is best for children.
Never mind whether Larlo needs to sit
away from the window or Larla is borderline for AAP and the principal won’t let her in.

FCPS isn’t special in this regard, they are absolutely ordinary.

Perhaps smaller town/county systems in which the people running it mostly have deeper roots and connections to the children they serve have a higher incidence of caring what is best for students.[/quote]
