[quote=Anonymous]I worked at a FCPS middle school--not one of the highly regarded schools in the county--that did tours all the time (I'm currently at a different one). We would have groups of parents come through frequently, to decide if they wanted their children to attend--people looking to buy in the neighborhood, people looking to switch from private to public. It was (then, and continues to be) overcrowded, so it seems to be a school-by-school decision as to whether or not to do them, not something discouraged because a school is over-capacity. The principal himself led these tours, and they happened often. If a teacher had the door open during class, they could definitely hear and see what was going on in classrooms. He would specifically bring parents around during a class change too--he would tell us that he wasn't hiding a thing about his school. I have moved on, so I don't know if these tours are still happening, but it was a known thing during the time I worked there. [/quote]
