[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to FCPS this year from a New England state. I was told to prepare myself for poor schooling for my kid.

My fourth grade had a fantastic year. There were three field trips, one to Jamestown. There were multiplication and division daily fact practice. There were many book clubs, five paragraph essays, and daily use of agendas. There were spelling tests and homework. My kid finished the year with a grade level musical. I’m not sure what people are complaining about. [/quote]

It happens every year before elections.

Republicans try to whip up some hysteria about schools, crime, gays, etc.

Like clockwork.

Yep. Because some ignorant dummies fall for it. Every.Single.Time.

FCPS isn't perfect. No school or district is. But it is hardly in decline or some sort of free fall. [b]The kids I know in college[/b] have all been prepared, did well, and have commented that they were light years ahead of kids from many other areas.[/quote]

We're complaining about grade school o this thread, mostly, which has always been FCPS' weak point and has gotten a lot worse.  You can brag about kids currently in college - good for them.  Can't their younger siblings and neighbors get the same experience?  Why not?[/quote]
