[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ We would.

The largest class in our kid's DCPS has 24 kids (only a handful of them poor/behind) and two teachers.  Friends who moved to MoCo mainly for the schools report that their children have as many as 30 kids in a class and just one teacher.

Our school's PTA raises close to 400K each year and spends it as the parents and teachers involved please.  In MoCo, there are many restrictions on how PTA funds can be spent.

You’re definitely nuts. [/quote]

Why slam this PP in knee-jerk fashion? You've had kids enrolled one of the top 10 or 15 DCPS programs? S/he makes a fair point, at least for ES. We have close friends who've moved from Upper NW or Capitol Hill to Fairfax, Arlington or MoCo for the schools and didn't find greener pastures. They found bigger ES classes, less favorable teacher: student ratios and more crowded schools on top of longer and more hassle-filled commutes to their downtown offices.  Our own DCPS school is actually less diverse than most in the outer burbs, if that's a selling point for the likes of you - the student body is more than 3/4 white/high SES.  Moreover, residency fraud is rare at our school -it's too small for fraud to go unnoticed.[/quote]
