[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m tired of everyone with all of these ideas, who hasn’t been a teacher or ever set foot in a classroom or have been retired for years.   My DH and extended family are guilty of it.

Anyone who start posts like this should be required to run for school board.  Go for it.  Try to put your plan into action and do something instead of posting anonymously and making noise.  [/quote]

Folks like you want to endlessly debate why a novel idea won't work. I and many others just want to solve the problems holding kids back from greater achievement across the county, but particularly in the Eastern part. Why are you so against achievement? Are you afraid your kids will face too much competition if all the immigrant children in high ESOL schools can suddenly understand what's going and start performing at (or above) grade level. The harsh truth is that the status quo isn't working, and your opposition to change under the veil of equity just perpetuates a bad system.

I'm tired of seeing my property taxes wasted on ideas and practices that don't work. The role of FCPS is to educate kids, not coddle them.[/quote]

You only see half of your property taxes go to schools. And a smaller percentage of that is spent on the practices you don’t like.  
But yeah, run for office and maybe you will see it isn’t as easy as spouting off some half cocked, ill planned ideas.
