[quote=Anonymous]My kids currently go to a DC charter school but we are thinking about moving to Northern Virginia because we have some concerns about our school in the long-run. But I'm wondering if NOVA schools would really be better or if I am just romanticizing good suburban schools.  We are specifically looking at North Arlington or possibly Falls Church city. I don't think I could live in Fairfax but I'm curious about responses from there too.  Anyway, here is the situation (I'll follow up later with how current school handled this).

Fall of first grade: Child given a math assessment test and tests at end of second grade level (child was not given any special math curriculum the previous year or at home). Child did not test as advanced at reading.

Winter of first grade: Parent asks teachers for more advanced math work for child because child is complaining he is bored and parent can see that he can do math homework very quickly even right after new concepts are introduced.[/quote]
