[quote=Anonymous]I would guess that FCPS will be fine and schools will remain accredited because the populations that are below standard are ones that have historically struggled, poor families with parents that lack a HS education themselves and more serious SPED kids.

Is that a good thing? No, no one is saying that it is.

Is it something that we have been trying to address as a society since the 1950's? Yes.

Is it something that we have been trying to address in urban and rural areas? Yes.

Is it something that can be addressed and corrected? Honestly, probably not. That doesn't mean that we don't try, there are kids who respond to the intensive support that they receive at schools and are able to overcome the odds. Every case that the kids are able to overcome the issues they face is worth it. We cannot overcome the issues that exist in kids home with 8 hours of school for most kids but there are ones who are able to overcome. And there are kids that are safe at school who would not be safe otherwise.

We can measure success and on track or off track or behind all we want but no one has an answer and people have been looking. [/quote]
