[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the OP: at least your kids got into the magnet programs --- MOST kids don't, so they end up in their neighborhood schools.

AND GUESS WHAT? [b]MOST kids do just great! [/b]

The[b] MCPS curriculum IS UNIFORM across the county. The only different variable from school to school is student population.  [/b]

Finally, to all the haters on various threads about [b]Olney/Brookeville: [/b]This is precisely why families move out to Olney/Brookeville --- where the housing is affordable and the [b]schools are excellent.[/b] Sure the commute to DC super stinks, but that's the trade-off people make when they can't afford Bethesda, Potomac, CC or the nice part of K-town.  [/quote]

These are contradictory statements.  If the MCPS curriculum is uniform, and MOST kids do just great, then why do you need to move to Olney/Brookeville for "excellent" schools?  [/quote]

Not the PP, but I'm sure he/she is trying to say that if you want MCPS, housing in Olney is an affordable way to get it.  The alternative for the price range may be outside of MCPS.  Nothing about the post that is contradictory.[/quote]

[/b]If she is the poster who writes about Olney from time to time, she moved from close-in SS to Olney.[/quote]
Yeah, but that poster lives in mythological Olney which she claims is not a bad commute. Either she has come back to reality, or this is a different person because this person acknowledges that the commute to DC "super stinks."[/quote]
