[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teaching quality has dropped.  E.g. Teaching kids with ‘Gizmo’ instead of real microscopes. No grammar in elementary through middle.

FCPS has gone down hill and parents are supplementing like crazy to address gaps, hence, the explosion of Mathnasium, RSM, Kumon, Tutoring Clubs, Varsity Tutors, etc. all over Arlington, Falls Church, McLean, Vienna, etc. [/quote]

Oh sweetie, those things have been all over Loudoun county for years longer than they've been in Fairfax county. They're prolific not to fill a gap, but [b]to help kids get ahead of others[/b]. [/quote]
Glad to see I am not the only sour grapes here. I too cant fathom the fact other kids want to learn more than mine.  [/quote]

OMG - the point was that these are not here because the education is bad, it's because people want enrichment for their children. No sour grapes. If my kid was interested in extra math, I'd sign them up, too, but right now, my child is excelling in school and we're all happy where they're at. Some parents are bit more ambitious than others. This is a reflection of the parents, not the schools.[/quote]
If you were truly satisfied with your student's performance, you wouldn’t feel the need to compare. That urge comes from a sense of inadequacy—both in yourself as a parent and in where your child stands. Sounds like a classic case of sour grapes!

Is it so hard to accept that some parents may be more dedicated and their advanced students are ahead? Be content with your own situation—comparison only leads to envy and misery.

There's a whole lot of obvious projection in this comment...[/quote]
