[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's early days in Mont.Co. schools, and I love our new neighborhood, but--I don't think much of the kindergarden. The classes are huge and there's only one, young teacher. My child looks lost and says she hates school (teacher says she does well in the classroom). I'm finding it a bit hard to connect to the other parents, many of whom are stay-at-home moms. 
The day we moved from DC, I got an e-mail from the principal of a DC public school to which we'd applied out of boundary, saying we'd gotten in. I'm trying not to look back, but the class would have been smaller, and there would have been two adults in the room, unlike MoCo. My commute would have been far easier. 
Anyway, I am having "buyer's remorse" about Montgomery County. I do hope the new superintendent can focus on getting an assistant teacher in every kindergarden class in the county. It would make a big difference, I think. 
Sorry to be a downer. Maybe it's the rain. I do think things improve over time--but kindergarden seems to suck lemons in this county. [/quote spe

We moved from DC to MC specifically for schools.  DC was at one of the better DCPS's and it still "sucked lemons."  Academic quality was veyr low even for our "good" school.  Although it's not perfect, MoCo is far and away so much better than DCPS in many many ways ,and I have never regretted it (although I still love DC and would like to move back downtown when DCs finish high school.)
