[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, the people who tough it out in ACPS and profess happiness about their decision to stay have some confirmation bias and have never experienced anything else.

We were you, OP. Moved to Arlington in second graded for the same reasons (although we were in an East End school). It was absolutely shocking how much better the schools are, up and down the line in terms of programming, classroom environment, amenities, etc.

That's the thing, everyone whos happy has confirmation bias. Those who stay and are happy, confirmation bias. Those who go and are happy, confirmation bias.  We don't have magical machines that allow people to do one path, rewind, then take the other path and therefore have full information to compare which was "better", factoring in all of the variables. I'm glad you're happy with your choice, PP, but that doesn't mean that someone who made the opposite choice is wrong or wouldn't be happy too. [/quote]

Except the PP in this scenario DID experience ACPS and then another school system.  She can fairly compare the two school systems.  So your point doesn't completely make sense to me.  No, she can't compare the experience of 2nd grade in both places, 3rd grade at both, etc. simultaneously.  But discounting her point of view entirely doesn't really make sense either.
