I'm think it's a bored high school kid who got a bad grade (or two) and now is mad at all FCPS teachers. The writing style strikes me as 11th or 12th grade level.

No the problem is FCPS teachers are not teaching at a high school level. They fail to include multimedia in their lessons. The taxpayers have paid millions for LCD projectors because Central Administration and best practices demands that lessons include multiple sensory stimulation. This is not happening!  FCPS students are being denied the quality educations in which they deserve and for which we have paid.

Education in FCPS is homogenized and consistently mushy throughout the system. It seems that the one dimensional group learning model currently being used almost exclusively in Fairfax is being supported by Central Administration and the Area Superintendants.

Group learning is crushing any and all passion teachers may have for the subjects they teach. FCPS teachers have fallen I to a [b]terrible rut where they are bogged down using a single method of teaching and where their students are bored to tears. [/b]

Teachers, please do yourselves and your students a favor and come to school excited to teach tomorrow. Talk to your students - COMMUNICATE!  Teach everything you know!  Share stories, smile, laugh, draw correlations between important discoveries in math, science, literature, social studies, etc. with your students. Tell them you love teaching your subject because it's the most important discipline in the world. Believe in yourselves and your students will believe learning the subjects you teach are important.

BRING LIFE TO YOUR CLASSROOMS!!![/quote]

You do realize if they all use LCD projectors all the time to present your beloved Power Points, they will also be in a rut using a single method?

And once again, this site isn't DCUT it is DCUM.  [/quote]
