[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public education has been ruined for years.  Let it crash and burn and we’ll start over. [/quote]

This. I began working in the schools when my own kids were in MS/HS after years SAH. It has been so eye opening. If I knew when they were younger what I know now, we would have done private K-12 and I plan to pay for my grandchildren to do just that.

Without major reform, public schools will become just for poor and special education students. Even middle class families will find a way out.

And I work at a “highly rated” school in a wealthy area with an active parents community. It’s still atrocious and the parents don’t seem to know. I didn’t back then.[/quote]
What I’ve noticed as my kids go through FCPS is that your kid needs to be in AAP/honors/AP/IB.  Because regular Ed classes are now for remedial students. 
And I agree that public schools will only be for the poor.  Forget special ed students. They are cooked.  [/quote]

Except other than AAP, they will let just about anyone into those other classes. Qualifed or not. Properly behaved or not. [/quote]

sure, but all kids in those classes have families or teachers who want them in there (or they want themselves to be in there). It's a filter that is 99 or more % effective. Kids who don't want to work opt for gen ed[/quote]

This has not been our experience at all. Lots of parents force kids into those classes who can't or won't do the work. Or cheat. Or all of the above. It's hardly a panacea. [/quote]
