[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know a local school district without a focus on equity but rather a focus on academics?  Seriously considering relocating while my kids are young.[/quote]

Private school [/quote]

Wrong.  Private schools' primary focus is money (tuition).  Academics are secondary.  Why are you people so afraid of equity?  Can't tip the scale so take your marbles and go home.[/quote]

Because equity means that my child who struggles with learning doesn’t actually learn anything but gets passed along year after year. Equity also means that my bright and hard working kid doesn’t get challenged and isn’t learning as much as he could. Equity as FCPS is using it means no one gets to learn. [/quote]

I understand your concerns, but this is nothing new.  This is the way it's always been.  There are options if you have the money to pay for the private schools which cater to this.

But private schools aren't always the solution and some private schools would weed your student out who is having learning issues as they don't have the resources nor do they want to deal with it.  There's plenty of people who say they get better support for their child with learning disabilities via public schools vs private.[/quote]
