[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think both school systems have their pros and cons.  I'm in FX, but my brother is in Arlington.  We are both products of FXPS (so is SIL).  My kids do language immersion in FX.  It isn't at all school, but they do offer it.

Also think about your commute.  My brother walks/metros to work.  I slug. We both spend the same amount of time commuting.

Life is different on other items. I have a garage and 3 cars, he has two driveways and 3 sheds.  I have to spend an hour mowing my lawn, I think he spends 20 minutes. I can avoid 66.  [b]they get stuck in 66 traffic on a sunday afternoon.  [/b]

I wouldn't pick FX for the AAP programs/center, but we turned AAP down to stay with language immersion.  I also didn't have too much problem with SACC.  We got in a few months into after we started, but we were at an immersion school and they have longer waitlists.  SACC is also only for a few years.  Most parents drop it late 5th grade/6th grade when kids can latch-key it.

Fairfax does let you go to different high schools, with reason. Due to our language immersion we are looking at multiple high schools to keep with the language (local high school dropped the language we studied). But, IBs & APs are a whole other forum.[/quote]

that's weird - I live in Arlington and almost never go on Rt 66.  every now & then I head out to the nether regions and get stuck heading out on 66 somewhere out by Nutley.  and then decide to never leave the beltway again.  and then sometimes I'm tempting to take back roads to Tysons, but then it's a crazy mess once I get there.  another nig mistake.

very little traffic right around here though!  although we don't even really need to drive around here.  [/quote]
