That's Vienna for you though. Always laid back and expecting the parents to do this kind of stuff.

Or expecting parents to know how to summer?

People compare Vienna to Mclean as if the schools are similar, but Mclean schools are just better run than Vienna schools.

I hope you are basing this conclusion on something other than summer assignments in MS! That doesn't really seem like a solid basis for measuring the teaching or administration of the Vienna schools. From what I have observed, Thoreau is a very positive place.

This is just one of many things but symbolic of the fact that teachers in Vienna aren't strong and don't follow through. And the teachers at Madison seem to disagree with you. Thoreau kids generally come in much less prepared than kids from Jackson.

remember 100% of the kids from Jackson that go to madison are AAP; about 20% of kids at Thoreau are AAP. That means, on average, I would expect the kids from jackson to do better than Thoreau. The teachers see how the kids do, and make conclusions based on where they come from. If you normalize for the population difference, it might change.

??? The Madison teachers don't think Thoreau is a positive place?
