[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow- what a rude, rude comment all around! I would tend to disagree with you that I am not more mindful of education than people who have kids in school - I'm "pretty sure," as you so nicely put it, that I think about education minimum 50 hours per week. I am not a classroom teacher, by the way, I'm an administrator (although I guess that part doesn't really matter), but what a snarky way to put that! FYI- the only reason I made a comparison in the first place was to explain my background and the fact that this may be on my mind more than others. For what it's worth, we are not thinking about moving "really soon." If you read my post, it said that we are STARTING to think seriously about buying a home. I'm not going to move somewhere "just for kids" when I don't have kids. However, when we are actively trying to conceive, it is completely valid to start thinking about options so that we are more prepared when it comes time to actually make a move. [/quote] Oh god, OP, I really hope you aren't an "administrator" in education anywhere around here. Otherwise, I am truly worried about your understanding of our school system in this area. Your initial post indicated that you had very little knowledge of the schools not just where you live, but immediately outside (Fairfax Co.). You seemed to have no idea what City of Alexandria schools are really like and limited knowledge of Fairfax Co. schools (e.g., your little comment about whether to even bother if your kid doesn't go to McLean/Langley - any administrator worth her salt knows how stupid a comment that is). Honestly, I suggest you educate yourself about these school systems for purposes of your job, not your move. Ugh, no wonder people have so little regard of our education system. [/quote] You are SUCH a piece of work!!!!! For what it's worth, I have lived in this area for about a year. I have absolutely NO idea what the public schools are like in Fairfax County or City of Alexandria, which is why I asked. I love that you are trying to insult me by telling me I have a lack of knowledge about these schools - well no kidding, that's why I posted! I work at an independent school in DC and my job has absolutely nothing to do with any of the school systems mentioned. Stop putting others down for no reason. What a sad life you must lead to be picking on random people on the internet! P.S. I'm sure your kids' teachers LOVE you. [/quote]
