By save FCPS do you mean completely destroy it?[/quote]

DP, but I'd love to see some diversity OF OPINION on the next School Board.  We don't have that with the current board and they have been running FCPS into the ground with their incompetence.  Some of them should be in jail.  [/quote]

+1  COVID and aftermath have shown the current board to be ineffective at actually educating students in reading, writing, arithmetic,...

I'd love all of you $%^% whiners to have done better. You wouldn't have. [/quote]

Easy items that any competent person  should have known:

Need for adequate infrastructure to handle emergency situations - including technology
That students wouldn't have shown up on days when there was no new material
That other school systems, even in the US were safely returning long before FCPS did
Made plans to close education gaps everyone saw coming

They should have foreseen the need for a once-in-a-lifetime medical emergency that was killing millions of people and the government was grappling with understanding and addressing?

Lots of other school systems handle a lot of things a lot of different ways. So what? We learn from it but it doesn't mean that FCPS was inherently wrong. I'm not sure what school your kid goes to but mine did a decent job, not perfect but decent. And it's been THREE years. If the gaps are not closed for your kid, part of that is on your shoulders.

This is called blaming the victim. That if the parent cannot close the gap caused by the school system, a system that seeks to marginalize and keep them in the dark as to what the school teaches them, it is their fault. Not everyone can afford to pay excessive FOIA fees to get copies of their child's curriculum.  Keeping the schools closed WAS A POLITICAL DECISION driven by teacher unions. What if the child was special needs, and denied school for a year? Is it the parent's fault for not being able to close the gap? Especially under the current school calendar that has the most disruptions, and the least amount of 5 day school weeks, than any other school district in the country? Either the person making this post does not have kids in the system, or does not have any empathy for the harm this school board caused children and families. [/quote]
