[quote=Anonymous]To follow up on the recent post re: Arlington vs FFX county schools, can someone please explain the logistical differences between the two? We are deciding between moving to Arlington vs. Fairfax for better public schools.  DH and I both work full time.

Can someone please clarify the differences in after care? Is it true that FFX County tends to have long waiting lists and no guarantees, whereas Arlington has guaranteed spots for aftercare or shorter lists?

Does Arlington have half-days on any day for elementary, or is that unique to FFX County? Will that be continued into the next few years?

Between the lack of guaranteed aftercare for working parents, and the Monday schedule, it seems like Arlington might be a better bet, all else being equal.

Would love to hear insights on what working parents do to accommodate the FFX schedule for elementary and for childcare purposes.  What do parents do who have children in elementary but then younger siblings in daycare full time?[/quote]
