[quote=Anonymous]This just feels like an attack on the FCPS system, honestly. How does your kid get to the 8th grade without you realizing they are so academically inept? That's a huge parenting fail on your part. I have a DS who struggled at the beginning of the pandemic when school closed for "2 weeks to flatten the curve" and then reopened virtually. It was a terrible experience for him and we quickly realized a) virtual schooling was probably going to continue for the 2020-2021 school year and b) he would certainly fail if left in that environment. We started looking at our options for private school and found one that we all liked. Granted, he was going from a LCPS high school to a private HS and not from FCPS, but he had no academic transition issues. It was the opposite, honestly, and he thrived more than we expected. He also enjoyed it so much that he chose to remain at the private to finish out his last 2 years of HS instead of going back to his old school with his other friends. [/quote]
