[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an UMC family in a low-rated FCPS pyramid, people often ask why we don’t move for “better” schools. They imply that we’re doing our kids a disservice by not sending them to the higher SES school.

My children are performing well in school, seem happy and well-adjusted, and they have friends from all walks of life. They know that some families have to work very hard for the little that they have. I like that my kids don’t view our UMC life as the norm, and they aren’t exposed to the materialism that I’ve heard about at other schools.

With few exceptions, my children have had excellent teachers. While our schools have a harder time recruiting parent volunteers and providing a lot of extras, the teachers go the extra mile to help students achieve.

As they move on to high school, I think my children will be able to “try on” more activities than they would be able to at a more competitive school. That’s a plus to me.[/quote]

This is exactly us, too, except that we're in MCPS.[/quote]
