[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dishonesty is exactly the problem in FCPS. Administrators are dishonest about how they meet VA State instructional hours and the types of instruction they are using.

Any number of instructional hours or teaching methodologies are fine for students with IQs over 120. High achieving students will succeed regardless of the quality of instruction they receive. Such students can achieve in spite of poor instruction. Unfortunately, average typical students are penalized when their hours of instruction are dishonestly reduced by counting transit time or by marginalizing students by using failed methodologies like the Flipped Classroom and Project Based Learning.

If there was transparency in FCPS and parents knew how little instruction was taking place in their children's classes they'd be outraged![/quote]

Okay Trolly Polly, you've had your chance to share your thoughts. You don't like FCPS. Flipped classrooms and project based learning are bad. Got it. 
Now move along.[/quote]
