[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding sense of community, our kids went to a DC private from Arlington. Most of the kids lived in DC/MD and [b]their parents regarded crossing the Potomac as entering the deep south.[/b] They complained they didn't know their way around. There's more of a sense of community in neighborhood elementary schools.[/quote] LOL, this is totally true. In one class at our kid's DC private, for some reason "venison" came up and the teacher asked if anyone had ever eaten it. Several kids pointed at our child and said "Larla probably has, she's from Virginia." Re: the reading and writing instruction in APS, our kid did have some teachers who were gems and did a good job of teaching. I have another kid who went to Yorktown, and, no, the level of HS English instruction is not the same as that at a DC Big 3 school, where the English teachers have PhDs and teach like college professors.[/quote]
