[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It seems like your child would be academically advanced (your profile makes me believe that)[/b] and magnet school is no gurantee. MoCo is in the decline path for advanced learners in general public school. If the path is not reversed, in 10 years things would be pretty bad. [/quote]

WTH?[/quote]

Do not take offense, but see what the OP wrote. I have highlighted the portion of the parent's profile (that I mentioned) which contributes to academic success of students in school. Most people get it wrong, when they think profile is tied to something other than parents availability and comittment.

[b]My husband and I have a 9 mos old and planning[/b] to expand our family.

*************

What we are looking for is a [b]top notch school, very strong focus on academics[/b], but diverse as well. I had bad experiences being bullied as I am South asian and attended a very non-diverse high school and do not want my daughter to face what I did. [b]Both of us are in science-related fields[/b], but we want her to choose any field she wishes, but be the best in that field (as I'm sure most parents do). We don't know how our daughter will be academically, so I [b]want a school that will motivate her to excel, but if she has struggles, will be willing to help her out and work with her (this goes for es, middle and high schools). [/b]I do not want her to go to a school where if she does struggles, she will be ignored or bullied.

No offense taken.  My "WTH" comment was based on your (huge) supposition about OP's child, based on nothing.  I see nothing in anything she wrote, or in what you highlighted, that suggests that her child would be academically advanced - nothing at all.

Ok, so she is looking for a top school (who isn't?), she and her DH work in science-related fields (professionals, including in the sciences, are a dime a dozen in this area), she wants her child to excel (don't we all?).  None of that suggests that her child is "academically advanced."  Nothing.

We only know a little about OP herself, and what she wants for her child.[/quote]
