[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too bad it’s the Democrats who [b]shrugged[/b] as SAT scores plummeted, kids deprived of their normal social development opportunities had mental health crises, and kids returned to school in buildings that were falling apart.

I hear the facilities at Gatehouse are really nice, though.  [/quote]

Lies, lies, and more lies.

Sad that you can't make a point without lying.

You don’t have kids in FCPS. Do you?

I have a kid in HS in FCPS. And I see SEL efforts and budget constraints, no shrugging.

[b]I have children in FCPS and I see too much SEL in the school day at the expense of  core subjects[/b]. I also see resources (funds, time, and people) redirected towards more SEL like programs and SEER money further funding Panorama and other CRT consultants, while teacher retention is at its lowest.
I know of multiple families who are outsourcing tutors for math and English lessons for all grades because they have observed the emotional and behavioral toll it has taken on their kids who have fallen behind academically. Other families are spending a fortune for SAT preparation because the on-line tutoring service offered by the school is ineffective for most.

I also watch the School Board meetings and can attest to their priorities and attitude. I even have to hear  them, time and again, congratulate themselves for a “job well done”, and, of course, there are the  celebrations and photo sessions. I also watch some brave community members comment and some activists put on a show. By the time they get to the relevant topics of the meeting, most of the times, I have fallen asleep, just to find out later I hadn’t miss much. [/quote]

I’m going to assume your comments are honest. I am also a parent of kids in FCPS and I don’t know what this means. Can you describe how they have SEL in the school day at the expense of academics? I know they do a screener once or twice a year. But what else?[/quote]

I think the PP has children above the ES grades, maybe?[/quote]
