[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grammar like math are being short changed in FCPS.  Why? Because they differentiate students and FCPS does not want that.  They want equitable outcomes.  In grammar and math some kids have an inherent advantage such as English being the native language or in math having more exposure outside of what FCPS offers.  So it is much harder to have equitable outcomes in these two areas.  [/quote]

LOL. What school is your kid attending? Because equity has zero to do with this.

I think the grammar sucks across the board and grades in FCPS. Ditto the writing curriculum. But kids were "differentiated" in math and "language arts" all the time in our pyramid. And still are in HS. And, where I thought more was needed, I actually parented and provided that to my kid. This is a PUBLIC school system, not an individual development plan. You want more than what's mandated ? Then provide it.

But don't resort to the lame "equity is killing education" BS. I know y'all have that on the GOP Bingo Card lately. But it's tiresome. And stupid. And you look lazy but pulling it out and by, implicitly, acknowledging you do little on your end to help your kid succeed.[/quote]

Your right grammar sucks across the board, and so does reading and math.  FCPS test scores prove  it.   This is  about FCPS not having standards, not teaching to those standards and providing a disciplined environment to allow every FCPS student to the best of their ability.

It is about way too much money being spent on inept middle management staff, the fad of he day program for math and English, and a failure to provide boots on the ground in the classroom to maintain order and discipline.  FCPS has more resources than some small countries, they squander and waste what they have and as a result FCPS students do not read at grade level, do math at grade level or have the grammatical skills they need to succeed in life.

So not asking for more than mandated just asking to meet the standard, which FCPS and most public schools in America are simply not doing.[/quote]

Way too much hyperbole in your post to take it seriously. [/quote]

And the fact that a diatribe on grammar starts with "Your" instead of "You're." [/quote]
