[quote=Anonymous]My kids are in advanced programs in middle of the road FCPS schools and I haven't done any academic supplementation (other than normal family life things such as having conversations, going to museums, reading together) and I feel that their needs have been met well enough. The eldest was just accepted at good colleges and the younger (sophomore in HS) seems on a path to be also.  They both have learned skills to pursue some of their intellectual interests on their own, both have stayed avid readers, can handle their own in a political or other intellectual conversation, have kept up senses of humor and curiosity, have a good group of friends, seem aware of diverse perspectives and open to the world, and have developed some talents in their extracurricular, school-supported activities.  I appreciate what the schools have provided for them.Of course, I don't think we can say this is all the schools--it's part of being raised in a fairly well-off, culturally diverse, educated neighborhood--but that's essentially what most people are trying to purchase when they buy a house in the DMV areas with good public schools.[/quote]
