[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the voice of the loud few doesn’t outweigh what is best for the whole district. Your elected official not doing what you want is not the same as not listening to you. [/quote]
The thing is, we haven’t received answers about what is best for the whole district. Our questions and concerns are met with whatsboutisms and other areas are brought up. I’ve met with political officials who truly listen, rephrase concerns, let us know that they understand and take what we say into consideration— even if it’s not going to be the final solution. They allowed voices to be heard. This was not my experience with our current SB member. [/quote]

Simple answer:  The School Board wants to "balance"  the numbers, I think.  Especially, the FARMS numbers.  I think that was the original intent.  However, the roll out has proven that it is not going to happen.

It is easier to shift and "balance" than to address the need and attempt to educate all where they are.  By balancing the numbers, the struggling schools will look better.  That does not mean that more students in FCPS will be succeeding in academics, it just means the scores will look better.

Now, some will say that this improves education for all.  I do not believe that to be true.[/quote]
