[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Certainly now and then something is learned, but very little is being taught. High achieving students can be born in a log cabin, be self taught and still achieve greatness.  The point remains the majority of FCPS teachers are missing valuable opportunities everyday to inspire their students.

Congratulations to the students who are attending school at advanced centers and are doing well, but my condolences remain for students attending general education schools where there is little joy and inspiration.

It's not surprising that the students don't like their schools either, inasmuch as they are spend six or seven hours each day in dull uninspired environments.  If it were not for the diversion of their cell phones and extracurricular activities the students would mutiny.

If a survey were to be taken the vast majority of students would say they do not like their schools in Fairfax. [/quote]

Can you tell us where you are getting your information? Do you talk to teachers regularly? Are students confiding in you on a regular basis?

To be honest, if you ask students anywhere (not just Fairfax) if they like school, most will tell you, "No!" Most kids will also tell you that school is boring and dull and that they'd rather do just about anything than go to school. What kid doesn't cheer when there's a snow day? So the fact that a survey might say that kids do not like their schools would not be a big surprise to me and would not be enough to induce me to ask for huge changes in the school system. I've been a kid and I've been a teenager and I know the changes people go through to become adults: changes I would not have understood or appreciated when I was a teenager.
