I think FCPS should just serve the basics -- no more TJ, AAP, AP, IB, immersion, academy classes, band, strings, sports. Just stuck with the core classes only, everyone in the same level courses. Then, if there is available money, add things back to improve the experience for all students.

The problem is those pesky state rules that would not let this happen.   [/quote]

There is nothing in state rules that requires AAP centers.  And, a lack of AAP centers does not mean that everyone is in the same level courses.

there would have to be some form of gifted instruction, not everyone could take the same level core classes.  [b]There would have to be PE classes through mid high school[/b][b], some fine arts, foreign language and an economics class as those are part of the requirements for the two HS diplomas.  [/quote]

PE could, and should, definitely be cut.  Just require kids to do some kind of sport, whether individual or team, and have parents sign off on it.  PE class is such a waste of time.  Even a study hall would be a better use of students' time.[/quote]

Health and Driver's Ed are also part of the HS PE curriculum, where would they go (again you cant get rid of state required education).  If you require a child to be in a sport, then you have to eliminate cutting from the team.  [/quote]
