[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please save your arm chair psychoanalysis for someone needs for someone who needs it. That goes for your analysis of my sentence structure. But, if that's your thing and that's what it takes to feel good about yourself, well that's just fine with me.

My concern is the current state of disrepair in FCPS curriculum and instruction. Clearly you can't defend it or you would. So you've instead chosen to discredit the messenger. For me, I don't care if you hated your father and loved your mother or perhaps it was the other way around; who knows?  I certainly don't nor do I care. Frankly, I wish you well.

I also wish you could make this dialog less personal and more productive similar to the PP who spoke of their high achieving children doing well and their children with IEPs are suffering.

High achieving students perform well in any school district. They are smart and they test well. Middle of the road students need better teachers than FCPS has to offer. [/quote]

"for someone who needs it" ... can't blame that one on autocorrect, huh? You were just so irritated with me that you had to craft your little response without proofreading it, I guess.

My children are thriving in FCPS. I have one in AAP and another one too young to be tested yet. The older regularly comes home talking about the interesting experiments and discussions the teacher facilitates. They have gone into deep analysis in humanities and history. He's learning math at a level I didn't see until years later. He is already a very strong reader and the teacher has sent home books she personally selected for his level and interests "just because." He has been really excited about school for the past two years. Truthfully, the year before that his teacher was a bit mechanical, but before that one year all teachers were also superb in instruction, differentiation and individual connection.

I am thrilled with our FCPS experience but "clearly" you can't hear a defense of the system, can you, messenger?

I maintain you've got an axe to grind and my guess is that it is rooted in some perceived slight in the way you have been treated over the years by this nasty crew of incompetent educators.

And now the big question: So what are you doing about "the current state of disrepair in FCPS curriculum and instruction?" Obviously you are desperate for change.[/quote]
