[quote=Anonymous]“They say they love school and don’t want to move.” There you have it. Don’t move. We are in Arlington and it’s a pressure cooker environment here too. In general kids play outside less but we got lucky and our neighbors all force their kids to play outside. I force them at least once a day and take them to the park regularly. Once they are out they love it but I feel kids these days need to be dragged outside. There is so much to do at home so why leave. My kids are in one of those enrichment math classes but we are immigrants and most immigrants have the impression that math in the US sucks (it does). But otherwise we keep activities to a minimal - they can never be enrolled in more than two activities and since they are close in age they have to do the same thing (not spending my entire time shuffling the kids around). Based on what you are saying I wouldn’t move. Nothing you say seems unique to Falls Church. Also i suggest reading the Coddling of the American Mind. Reading it now and based on what you are saying I think you would agree with a lot of the author’s points :)
