John Schilling, President of the American Federation for Children, was on Thursday’s Ingraham Angle to discuss the current “debacle” in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS).
“This is a school district that proved incapable of delivering online learning when the pandemic shut down schools,” Schilling noted. “It took them five weeks to even start online learning; the day that it started, the system crashed.”
Schilling, himself a Fairfax County resident, went on to emphasize that parents desperately need alternatives to FCPS. “One of the things the pandemic has taught us: it has laid bare how inflexible and antiquated our K-12 system is and how much we need school choice,” he said.
