[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a transplant. In some ways, the schools here are better than where I came from but in some ways not. The schools here ignore the basics. There are larger class sizes, not enough busing, too much overcrowding, crumbling old facilities, overuse of technology without anyone knowing what they're doing. But the teachers here are better than what I had. Also the parental culture of achievement/high expectations is completely different for better (smart is value) and for worse (stress, pressure and way too much homework).[/quote] NP here. Another thing lacking in FCPS is that they do not offer sports in middle school, which I find shocking. Middle school sports are a standard where I came from. [/quote]
