Bravo! How long did you sit there tiring out your brain to figure out that 2/3 is greater than 1/3? |
That makes you part of the problem |
You sound extremely unpleasant. Not to mention, you have no actual citation for those numbers. DP |
Some very wealthy families also prefer the community aspect of neighborhood public schools, where the neighborhood kids all grow up together, and where neighbors aren’t strangers. |
I think at some point - probably soon but I might be wrong - the high school education will start to go down hill simply because even the most involved parents can't paper over the huge gaps FCPS is leaving, for even the "grossly supersized" (as you say, not in any way arguing) AAP program kids. At some point the high school teachers are going to have to start slowing down and catching up even honors courses because kids don't know how to manage their time to do homework since they didn't have it in elementary, don't have a solid foundation in any subject maybe math, and so on. |
I had a friend whose kids were at DRES who was thrilled by their character development program... |

There’s a reason companies like Fairfax Collegiate not only exist but are booming. Between them and the tutors, the teachers at high schools with the wealthiest parents shouldn’t have to adjust much. And with homeschooling continuing to rise, lots of children will actually be taught the basics in elementary. |
