[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way! Move to an area with good public schools.[/quote]

There is no such thing unfortunately.[/quote]

Where do you live that there isn’t at least a decent elementary school district?  I’m sensing troll.

Elementary is 12 years of schooling for 2 kids * 50k = 600k of savings alone.

Never heard of a single city in America without at least one suburb with good schools.  [/quote]

FCPS and LCPS are horrible. Pulled my kids out and doing private. Other parts of the country may be better...but not here.[/quote]

I live in a town where public is better than private.  We started at the only small private school we felt was within a reasonable drive.  DC was reading and doing basic arithmetic when entering kindergarten.  At the first parent-teacher conference, we asked the teacher what she could do to challenge DC.  She replied that she has to stick with the curriculum, but "we are welcome to advance her at home."  That is not what we are paying $40k (after donation) to hear.  At least the public school has a gifted program. [/quote]
