[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from SLHS back in the 90s when it was an AP school. Even back then it was a rough environment. Staying in mostly AP classes helped me avoid the riff raff. I would not send my child to a school like that now unless they really wanted IB and even then I would have hesitations.[/quote]

Spoken like someone who grew up in the burbs and has zero idea what a rough school is actually like. SLHS and Herndon are not rough schools except in the minds of DCUM. [/quote]

Yes, and all the kids here now are growing up in the “burbs.” It is scary to enter a high school like SLHS or HHS. Tons of fights, gang activity, etc. I don’t want my child at a school like that if possible. Thank God once you get to college or in the real work force you never have to deal with people like that again. [/quote]

You can’t be serious. College and the (presumably white collar) workforce is not immune from this. [/quote]

Seriously, just last week Jerry from accounting jumped Bill from HR in the cafeteria. Everyone knows the 4th floor bathroom on the north side is a no go zone- that's where all of the cool people smoke weed [/quote]
No but Jerry could be on drugs (white collar and well off people do drugs). And he is white collar so he wouldn’t jump people…he might just steal/commit fraud/insert whatever white collar crime here. But it’s ok bc he will probably get away with it.  I don’t know PP btw having my kids go to school with gangsters or future hedge fund managers/wall st types without scruples, I might pick the gangsters who probably won’t even bother them. [/quote]

There are plenty of schools in the DMV with openings that can let your kid attend school with polite gangsters rather than the children of financiers. You should really go through with it and see how it goes  [/quote]
