[quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem is that teaching is not a respected job in NOVA, even by many teachers. How could it be when teachers have access to so many other high-paying jobs? Why would you be a teacher when you could work for X, lower your stress, earn more money, and double your prestige?

Plus, there isn't the sense of community in NOVA like there is in other places. Families are always coming and going, moving in and out, there is less permanency to the whole thing. Schooling can feel very disconnected as a whole.

Where we live now, there are three parent-teacher conferences for K-12 during the school year. Three, not only one like in FCPS. If your child is failing, you receive a print out up to the minute of your child's grades on all assignments, well before the quarter ends. There is a sense of community, and the teachers work with the parents, there is a "it takes a village" mentality around education that I never felt in NOVA and we were there for more than ten years in that system.
