[quote=Anonymous]We're currently in FCPS and I'm getting anxious as the school year is about to start. I know the schools here are great but I find it to be such a pressure cooker environment and can't keep up with the tiger parenting that seems to be required of FCPS. Anyone leave the schools for Arlington/Falls Church City/Alexandria? We previously lived in Arlington and I remember the parks were always full of kids playing, out here it seems like kids are just never out. And I live right next to a park as that is what attracted us to buy this house! We haven't done the kumon or russian school of math (husband is starting to suggest it) but I'm. just. reeling. I'm looking for advice on whether other parents in the nearby districts feel just as stressed by the kids and parents in their schools/neighborhood.

I was complaining to MIL who recently said 'if you cant take the heat then get out of the kitchen' which got me thinking.... And yes I am in therapy, I started even before covid and talk to her weekly. Kids are still young (4th and 1st, smart but not gifted), but they say they love their school and don't want to move.[/quote]
