[quote=Anonymous]FCPS is just too big. Their policies have to serve their entire population and the population is just too varied to make it work. We have schools where 95% of the students pass the SOLs and we have schools where 95% of students come from low income homes and often lack resources needed to be successful. Those schools need significantly different administrative supports but they are under the same policies and administrative staff. I was shocked when my 1st graders teacher mentioned the entire district is on the same pacing for benchmark down to the week, so students, classes, or entire schools that are high achieving are being slowed down while other schools are being pushed forward to keep with pace. No one wins because the system is just too big and trying to pretend every school is the same. [/quote]
