[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spent this weekend at my BIL's new school, also in NoVA, further out. It was gorgeous. Besides JH, I feel like most ACPS schools are an eye sore. My neighbors are at GWMS and they report disgusting bathrooms, the girls' receptacles for period products overflowing and not emptied by the janitors, no hand soap or paper towels, people smoking or vaping in the bathrooms, toilets and sinks filthy. The kids tell me the teachers regularly dispose of dead/poisoned rats on Mondays or mornings in the classroom. The landscaping at my sons' schools is pathetic. The grass is dead, there are no bushes, flowers or trees. I grew up in an inner city urban neighborhood and so did DH. Our schools were well maintained. How do we as a community tolerate this? And I've worked as a maid and a janitor, so I get it is hard work. Our soccer goals are broken. Basketball hoops. The little free library is falling over. There are tons of masks and food wrappers, water bottles litering the school grounds. Why? [/quote]

Eww I doubt it’s that bad - you are definitely exaggerating.[/quote]

Actually, it is. My daughter is now in 10th grade and still remembers all the rats at GW. The principal gave me some lame answer when I questioned him about it.  She never used the bathrooms there unless absolutely necessary.

But we have lots of consultants being well paid for ridiculous "surveys" and a superintendent who is well...[/quote]
