[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former teacher who has older kids, I find the constant nastiness about ACPS stunning (although not surprising).

My best guess as someone who has lived in the neighborhood for many years is that these nasty folks are those who are resentful they've paid so much money for private school or moving to a less-fun/further out neighborhood and are looking to convince themselves that they made the right decision and/or convince others to follow their lead, thus reinforcing their decision that way.

What I have always told families is this: every single family has to make their own choice, and you can't do that by following the herd, certainly not on an anonymous message board.  Go on a school visit.  Talk to current (not former, not people who never went) families.  That's the only way you'll see if a school is right for you.

And as for the people saying there are no kids in Del Ray, what planet are you living on???  Nearly everyone here besides a few old timers still left has a kid, a dog, and a yoga mat.[/quote]

Del Ray resident here, and this is spot on. Thank you![/quote]
