[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No standards in elementary. Passing kids that should be held back. No more classroom novels with discussions. No spelling tests. Kids can’t read and write on grade-level and are pushed through the system.

Escape if you can.[/quote]

And the middle and high schools aren't much better.[/quote]

Academically FCPS high schools are still good for high achieving students IF they can ignore all the extraneous behavior nonsense and have a decent work ethic. The students who are on the AP/Honors track aren't taking high school classes with the kids who can't read or do basic math facts. They'll get a solid education and be well prepared for college or the workforce or whatever they decide to do after they graduate. They'll walk the stage with peers who are in no way prepared for the real world but that doesn't mean they've interacted much with those peers for the past four years.

Elementary and middle schools increasingly teach to the lowest denominator at all class levels and that's a problem. [/quote]
