[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The concern usually focuses on how well it now serves average or below-average students who don't qualify for special services.[/quote]

This.  My child was "average".  Didn't qualify for AAP or Sped or  ESOL.  Did not become an athlete.  Did not have a high priced education in FCPS.  Had big classes, lots of testing, and mediocre experience.  No immersion at his school.  If everyone were like him, FCPS would have money to spare.  [/quote]

I think the major problem with FCPS is that it's main focus is how to educate AAP kids.  All the other average/above average kids with no learning issues get completely overlooked.[/quote]

They spend way too much money trying to specialize way too much in elementary school, leaving behind the majority of kids in the process.

We did not feel this way.  As others have noted, it's usually the parents of younger children who complain.  At some point the advantages of FCPS kick in and parents become more appreciative of the many options and programs that are available in FCPS compared to other area school systems.  But it can be tough at first for parents of younger children who don't want to invest much time in their children's education, yet don't want them to fall behind, either.  [/quote]
