[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our country doesn't care enough about education to make public schools nearly as good as private schools. We live in a country that cares more about money than education, so you have to throw money at a school one way or another: by living in an elite district or by shelling out for private school.

Does that make you mad? Me too. But it's true. [/quote]

And yet both of my kids went through AAP at good old FCPS public’s and to TJ— where a large number of DMV private school kids would wash out the first semester.  Go figure.

MoCo, Fairfax and Arlington all have excellent public options.  Are these elite districts? IDK. Probably more like they have elite pyramids within above average districts.   But they are what we have, so bemoaning the state of public education in rural SC doesn’t help OP.

And you don’t have to live in Potomac to get a great school.  In FCPS, Langley and McLean are great, but so are the TJ feeders in the Western County, and the schools in the West Springfield/Burke area, and Oakton/Woodson.  I’m sure MoCo has great school in more than one place too. [/quote]
