[quote=Anonymous]By DCUM standards this has been a pretty good discussion. The contrast between beautiful Carmel HS and the smaller, and sadly in some cases decrepit and neglected, high schools in FCPS raises some interesting questions about what matters in public education. At what point do facilities become so run down and inadequate that they impede learning or demoralize students? If a school is immaculate but huge, do students feel like they are visiting their school, as much as attending it, if their actual opportunities to participate in school activities are limited by the school’s large enrollment. I continue to be frustrated by the terribly poor planning in FCPS and the sad condition of too many schools in FCPS, and wish that we invested more in bricks and mortar and less in what ultimately strike me as wasteful and not especially beneficial payments to third-party consultants, but the responses have certainly surfaced some other relevant considerations.[/quote]
