[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS spent their time and resources focusing on the wrong priorities. As a school system, they should focus on education. It took FCPS 4 weeks to get distance learning up and running, poorly, but only a few days to get their meal distribution up and running.  I have received infinitely more communication regarding meal distribution than distance learning. Let the food banks feed the kids. The school system needs to focus on educating the kids. [/quote]

The view must be nice from your ivory tower.[/quote]

People pay for schools for the education. The free meal program was supposed to happen at a school only. Not delivered like an uber service.[/quote]

It’s the school’s way of keeping bus drivers and nutritional services employees working. [/quote]

Schools are community resources.  That's why they are sites for voting and community meetings, and for food distribution when unemployment spikes suddenly and many people otherwise would go hungry.

Assuming you don't want children to starve, where do you propose to distribute food instead?  [/quote]

I have no problem with FCPS distributing food at the schools. My problem is that FCPS is spending their time and resources working on food distribution while my children have gone without education for 5 weeks now. Assuming that you can’t afford private school, there is no other entity from which they can be educated. However, there are many other community resources that can handle food distribution. School system’s #1 priority should be education and that is where they should put their focus first. [/quote]

We got far more info about food distribution than we ever did about FCPS's distance learning plans for the first few weeks of this.

Either they had no plan at all and were scrambling, or there are misplaced priorities.[/quote]
