[quote=Anonymous]Agreed, 16:39. Years ago before my kids were in school, we decided to buy a house in Fairfax because of the reputation of its schools. Like most people, I thought high test scores were meaningful. Over the years, I have found they really don't mean much at all -- except that the students' parents are generally well-educated and wealthy. After several years of FCPS, we chose private. And not because we care about learning multiplication tables early, or other superficial indicators of learning. Rather, we wanted a learning environment for our kids that was NOT focused on acceleration for the sake of acceleration, or prepping for the next all-important SOL. Small class sizes, REAL learning (not rote regurgitation), creative thinking....that is what our kids need, and why we eventually chose private.[/quote]
