[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a quick comment, we don't have the money to do private school, and I would like to begin in one school pyramid in kindergarten and complete that pyramid. I do not really want to switch my kids when they reach seventh grade and they've already made all their friends.[/quote]

We just moved this past summer and our oldest started 7th grade.  My kids were very against moving... ironically, I think the 7th grader has done the best adjusting to the move.  I, as the mom, am having a harder time.  I never really considered how much neighborhood/community knowledge I had built up over the years when the kids were young.  Moving to a different area (still in FCPS), I feel a bit lost.  When the kids were younger it was easier to meet other parents at playdates, bday parties, sports teams, scouts, and just taking the kids out to things in the community.... now, my kids aren't really doing those activities or don't want to go out (we can't just pick them up and put them in the car).  I find it a lot harder to make "community" without little kids (or sporty kids).
