[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in VA - outside of the DC metro area. I received an excellent education, even though my school system didn't have the FCPS reputation.

What my school system did have was largely homogeneous (Caucasian) population of  middle class, involved parents. Unfortunately, FCPS has to be everything for everybody. It has to be able to teach kids who don't speak English, many Low income kids, kids from homes where parents are never around. It's a huge challenge and, yes, I think it's really starting to affect overall quality.

Demographic changes are impacting education as people from all over the world flock to this area. It's not the sleepy, southern county it used to be.

Thanks to the other PPs for valuing diversity, even though this person doesn't. I'm Caucasian as well, but I don't see that raising my kids in an all-white environment does them any favors, socially or academically.  Nice for you, PP, that you're able to reminisce about how this area isn't the sleepy, southern county it used to be.  Most people don't have that luxury.  [/quote]
