[quote=Anonymous]My kids go to school in N.Arlington.  The education level is phenomenal.  I am glad we aren't on this ridiculous AAP program which is parents trying to get a designation their child doesn't deserve.  There are lawyers involved sometimes and prep courses for 6 year olds from what my sister relays to me as a Ffx co.mom and Ffx co. govt worker.  No f*cking way did I want to be in that environment.  I am a product of FFX county public schools, btw.  My education was nothing like my kids are receiving in Arlington. It takes a lot to impress me--and I'm blown away by their elementary school.

I am horrified reading these posts from the FFx parents pushing and pressuring their K and 1st graders.  Yuck.  They make 'Tiger Mom' look like a hippy, home-schooler.  Talk about pushing out all degree of creativity from a kid.

I have one word for all of you people: QUOTA. If your kid plans to attend UVA, W&M, etc...it can be a complete disadvantage to be at one of the [i]perceived[/i] top schools. They do have a quota of kids they will take per NOVA school.  I was told this at the time of my application and it has been confirmed by an Admissions employee.  Kids can get a solid education at a good APS or FFX school--it does not have to be one of these centers.  [/quote]
