[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Montogomery County with excellent public high schools, but the public Kindergarten is full of kids from poor familities that does not speak english.[/quote]

Ha! We live in Mo Co in one of the W clusters (not Wootton). Our elementary school has a principal that is despised and has resulted in the attrition of most of the excellent teachers (since 2003).  The building is falling down around their ears, they paint every once and while to make it look better (lipstick on a pig). The kids stay indoors for recess when there is a slight sprinkle or the wind is blowing the wrong the way. One DC went all the way through and is a junior in high school now. His counselor is an idiot and the college counselor ( 1 person for all 500+ seniors not to mention the 500+ juniors) is jaded, overworked, bitter, and not unexpectedly, useless. So just because we have all the supposed advantages doesn't make any of this a cakewalk. I agree that in poor areas it will be more difficult for families to advocate for their children.[/quote]
