[quote=Anonymous]Also moved from DCPS to MCPS. After 2nd grade it became very evident that the quality of teaching and expectations at our not-JKLM-but-close school was very low particularly vis-a-vis what we thought our DC needed. Moved to MCPS and DC has attended magnet schools ever since. General education in the home school was much better than DCPS. Magnet education, while not 100% to my liking (too much pointless work and some needlessly stressful teachers), is still far and above anything DCPS could offer. Aside from the programmatic offering, the experience of being clustered with other magnet students changed DC's life. Glad we made the move, because DC#2 turned out to need special ed. DCPS would never have been able to meet DC#2's needs. Even MCPS is having trouble with this, but it would have been a disaster in DCPS. Too bad, because I loved my old Shaw neighborhood. But for the school situation, I would have raised my family in a row house way downtown somewhere. I am planning to move back downtown once the kids are in college. [/quote]
