[quote=Anonymous]We're in MoCo, and with Common Core (or 2.0 here), there's negativity galore.  But, I don't stress.  Maybe it's because I'm not originally from this area.  Parents around here seem to constantly complain about every aspect of the schools.

If you look at the different rankings of best school districts, you will find that MD is usually at the top, probably VA, too.  So compared to the rest of the country, it's not so bad here. I think some people don't realize this. Not saying we shouldn't strive to make schools better, but all that negativity can't be good for the kids.

My one DC is in HGC, and quite happy there.  DC#2 is in 2nd and quite happy at the home school, too, and so far, doing really well, academically, socially, and emotionally at school.

But again, we're not originally from here, and we haven't drunk the ivy league kool-aid (which is IMO part of the problem around here with all the criticism).  And we realize this is public education, and my DCs are not special snowflakes (they are but, only to our family).

Don't stress about it, especially, since they are only 1 and 4.[/quote]
