[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the PP who wants to give ACPS a try until it is actually failing our kids. We have not experienced dysfunctional students or exhausted teachers. We would rather save for college and leave our kids a little inheritance rather than spend it on private school. As others have noted, if we reach the point where we feel ACPS is not working for our kids, then we probably would go private. But in the meantime, it is good for them to get regular exposure to cultural, racial, and socioeconomic diversity that they would not typically find at a private. And, we are not white but UMC and yes, kids are in TAG.[/quote]

The rich Alexandria parents I met on the playground usually had very positive things to say about the elementary schools but tended to disappear by middle school. As for diversity, consider that it's not very healthy for your child to witness extreme behavioral and economic problems from children of one race. The suburbs in VA and MD are very diverse and your child can interact with POC as equals. Also remember that it's easy for you to just see what happens but it's your child that has to miss out on learning and be stressed for that whole school year. [/quote]
