[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I attended a W school, living in MoCo my whole life, though decades ago, but lived as an adult in NoVa and sent our children to FCPS. Know what you are getting into re: gifted education in FCPS. I can not stress this enough. This alone makes me wish we had been in MoCo. There is a military mindset in NoVa. It shows up in many, many ways, imo. It is the aspect I like least re: NoVa, and the South in particular. The result is less creativity, more emphasis on following authority. Math and science education is better in FCPS, the teaching of literature, critical thinking, creative writing is much better in MoCo. On the other hand, there is an emphasis on fitness, on being a joiner, joining a sport. Fewer troublemakers. It's not tolerated. Differences are not as tolerated. [/quote] Can you elaborate more about the gifted education? My kids are too little to know if they would be gifted but still interested in your perspective. [/quote]
