[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dislike both.  Falls Church City is nice but their tax is way too high.  Falls Church that belongs to FFX is rough and has bad schools, Alexandria has horrible horrible schools.  Go to Alexandria if you send kids to private schools.  [/quote]

Please describe, with objective evidence, exactly why Alexandria city has universally “horrible horrible schools.” This is a tired DCUM trope.  See the longer post above somebody made about city schools and how the “rankings” tend to destroy schools that happen to serve non-native English speaking and lower SES families.  There’s a lot of truth there.[/quote]

My kid graduated in 2018 from TC- Public all the way through. Offered admissions to UPenn and Cornell. Went to Stanford. I love it when they trash TC. It makes my child's accomplishments seem so much bigger.[/quote]

Right.  You realize your son only stood out because of TC's demographics, right?  If your son had attended Episcopal or SSSAS or a DC private school like most MC and UMC kids in Alexandria, your son would have been 1 of 500 similar kids, not 1 of 10.  Your son's "accomplishment" isn't that much of an "accomplishment."[/quote]

Imagine being so butt hurt about a city's reputation that you try to claim that graduating from Stanford is NBD. :lol:

Oooff. I'm actually embarrassed for you.[/quote]And the rest of us are embarrassed by you.  There is a difference.  You're in the worse position actually.[/quote]

You're embarrassed for the person who raised a child that gained admission to UPenn, Cornell and Stanford? Are you sure you now what that word means?[/quote]The parents played the game well.  They put their kid into a school where the kid would be 1 out of 5 or 6, not 1 out of 200 or 300, like the rest of us.  I give more credit to the parents than the kid.  But I would not have put my kid in that position either.  That shooting incident and the rape struck too close to home for us.  The demographics of TC are why the kid stood out.  Nothing more, nothing less.[/quote]
