Sorhor Bluereign,

I can't believe that P. G. County is having that problem as well.

I can't believe that FCPS (Fairfax County) doesn't really acknowledge vocational education all we do is focus on 99.9% college/university enrollment to the top schools.

I can't believe that they don't teach students to be well rounded.

What's wrong with a child wanting to be a mechanic, plumber, electrician, hair stylist, chef, etc? Those occupations are just as important as the doctor, lawyer, nurse, accountant, educator, police person, etc.. How's a sociologist or psychologist gonna help me when my sink is clogged or my car needs a tuneup?


I can't believe that parents with children that are diagnosed with mild retardation or serious physical challenges refuse special education services and put their kids in "Honors" and "Advanced Placement" classes. It's just crazy how the county and parents are so obsessed over good grades and getting into Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Spellman, Morehouse, etc. and will go to such crazy lengths to push their child through the system. Are they really helping or hurting their son/daughter?
