[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were thinking of buying a home in Bethesda, but all this negative talk about 2.0 has made us reconsider.  We are now thinking of McLean.  
Is it really that bad?  The few people we have spoken with in person have no issues with it.  I don't want to be in a situation where I regret
having my children at Montgomery County schools.[/quote]

I wouldn't make any real estate decision based on anything you read on an anonymous board.  You could easily hear the same things amongst a group of parents in McLean or in DC (substitute 2.0 for whatever their gripe is).  For that matter, read the private school boards and you'll think that everyone with kids there is going broke or being duped for NOT sending their kids to MoCo schools.  Pick your house/school/community based on what you like and want not based on the complaints of strangers.  There are probably more parents who are perfectly happy with 2.0 but they aren't going to post about how well something is working.  People with  complaints are always more likely to post/complain than people who are happy.  Take everything you read with a grain of salt.[/quote]

This really isn't the case.  You'll hear some parents in McLean complain about large class sizes and a sense that they subsidize other schools in the county with more FARMS kids and smaller class dizes.   And some parents complain about not enough art and music, or schools teaching too much to the test.  But there doesn't seem to be a comparable degree of angst as there is in MCPS right now as to whether the curriculum is sufficiently challenging.  Of course, we will be getting a new Superintendent soon, who for all we know may impose his or her own version of 2.0 in FCPS.  [/quote]
