[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All things considered, the question is it more OK to move to Fairfax, MoCo or elsewhere in search of more elementary and MS challenge, or pay for a private school.  Not by us.

We're more OK with supplementing to stay in our home of 20 years, near longtime friends and neighbors.  We're more OK with living across the street from one of the local libraries and down the road from the Smithsonian museums.  We wish that our by-right DCPS schools provided more challenge for our kids, but they don't.  Pretty clearly, we can't begin to change that in the years they have left in DCPS.

What are you suggesting we do?[/quote]

Trying to better understand the issue leading to the lack of challenge in these schools more than anything. Particularly since the schools serve neighborhoods with relatively high SES families. Is it the teachers (e.g. high turnover, not a lot of years teaching, poor classroom management)? Is it the DCPS curriculum (not going deep enough, trying to cover too much, not focusing on foundational academics)? Is it lack of homework to confirm mastery of subject, or too much homework?

In your opinion what are the issues contributing to the lack of challenge?[/quote]
