[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] +1000ver They spend way too much money trying to specialize way too much in elementary school, leaving behind the majority of kids in the process. [/quote] Totally agree. I would welcome a "back-to-basics" approach in all subjects, with a huge de-emphasis on AAP and other special programs. [/quote]
