I think this is absolutely still true. FCPS is on the hamburger budget while trying to present a steak front to everyone. It just isn't working. This school system pretends to be all things to all students, but the reality is it's trying to do too much with too little. Frankly, I wish they would just stick to the basics and make those basics really, really good - for everyone, not just a certain subset who wants things their way, all the time.

MMM--urban. Please clarify? Going downhill fast-------please elaborate on how and why its going downhill?

More crime, more family disfunction, more tolerance for disruption, too many different languages, more financially stressed people, more difficult to fire inept teachers, less school spirit, jaded, stretched budget, mess .

Ever since Fairfax dropped to the fifth richest county in the nation, life has been nothing but a living hell.

You are real shallow to think your lifestyle is a living hell since your county is not number 1, 2, 3, or 4. If thats the case move!!!! And if you can't don't blame other for your misery. If you can

The PP wasn't being serious. Sarcasm?

Hard to tell on these boards. A lot of things get said with mixed messages. If that was the case, why not just say----"Only joking" or something along those lines.

I'm sorry - where does the hive mind believe the sarcasm began? I read the "crime, disfunction (sic), too many languages..." poster to be serious (yet ridiculous in his/her own way) and the response to be sarcastic.

It must be living hell to go through life without a sarcasm detector.

It will be worse next year because if the budget cuts.
