[quote=Anonymous]6th grade DD and I went to one of the DC public HSs (not magnet, not Wilson) for an academic competition for MS DS last month. Over the last few years, she has been in about 1/3-1/2 of the FCPS HSs for academic competitions, arts performances, field trips etc-- including schools like Lee, that are not at the topic of the FCPS food chain. We came in through the metal detectors, walked the halls, went in the bathroom (with "F**k" written in huge letters all over the walls and ceilings) and into the classrooms (where the desks were broken, there were bars on the windows, and she discovered the 9th grade math class was covering the same material she is learning).  Her eyes got huge and she looked at me and said-- this school looks so ... defeated... How do kids learn here? It's a good point. And I told her that she was just lucky to live somewhere with great schools.  Kids in FCPS & ACS are lucky. Nobody at any school in either system is in an unsafe school where they can't get a great education-- probably better than 90+% of the country. Maybe focus on that, instead of taking out a ruler, pulling down your pants and measuring your ... Test scores. [/quote]
