[quote=Anonymous][quote]FCPS is suburban, as opposed to DCPS which is neighborhood focused but beyond that your characterization is incorrect. Roughly around 200 counties nationwide out of 3000+ are more urbanized like FCPS, the remainder are far more rural. Many parts of the country, like farming communities in places like Iowa have regional schools, one kid might live 10+ miles away from the next kid in his class, they aren't particularly "neighborhood" focused, in fact even far less so than FCPS.[/quote]

Yes, I grew up in one of those rural districts in the middle of America.  We knew the kid who lived 10 miles away.  We knew that family and practically every family around us.  I could point to any house within a 10 mile radius and tell you who lived there and I mean every member of the family.  That was our "neighborhood".  I had a great, very rich childhood experience in every way you can imagine.  I am glad I had it.  My grade school had 200 kids in 7 grades.  I had to travel 10 miles to high school.  It was one of the best high schools in my state.  It still is.  They have no charters in my home district, even now.  It is hard to get a teaching job in my home district believe it or not.  Many people want to live that lifestyle, but end up, like I did, in Fairfax County.
