Does it pay to obsess on where your kid goes to school?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2014/04/25/does-it-pay-to-obsess-on-where-your-kid-goes-to-college/%3foutputType=amp[/quote]

Great article and I agree.[/quote]

“ Whatever the rhetoric about a decline in public education, most schools are actually pretty good.  How do we know?  Just ask their clients.  As polling data reveal, the vast majority of parents are very satisfied with the schools their children attend.”

Oh, OK, the measurement of school performance now is some poll where parents said they were satisfied.[/quote]

LOL, the article was written by a Post reporter who sent her kid to private school.  [/quote]

Nope. Look closer.[/quote]

Correction:  The article was [i]highlighted[/i] by a Post reporter who sent her kid to private school, and it agrees that schools matter (just not as much as parents).

The "equity" brigade isn't going to convince anyone to send their kids to bad pyramids.  Senior Post reporters overwhelmingly send their kids to private schools, Walt Whitman, and B-CC.  [/quote]

There are no “bad” pyramids in FCPS.[/quote]

Right.  That must be why Corbett Sanders is making sure West Potomac is being expanded to 3000 seats so her constituents won’t have to go to under-enrolled Mount Vernon, or why they built an addition at West Springfield when Lee sits next door below capacity.  The people in charge don’t believe this so why should the rest of us?[/quote]

It would make more sense to you to shrink schools when they're being renovated than to increase capacity, the way APS did...[/quote]
