[quote=Anonymous]OP, we "had the foresight and the money [to switch] to private" but unlike your assertion, we ARE coming back. It was just a temporary response to COVID. I'd say of the families we know well who made the switch to private due to COVID (about a dozen or so), it's a pretty even split of who is open to or planning on returning vs. those who seem inclined to remain at a private from here on out.

But let's be real, there's no way a 180k student district was going to be able to pivot and manage a response in anywhere near the timeline or with the agility of an independent institution that's only a fraction of the size. That's not a knock on FCPS, that's just the nature of large vs. small organizations. And that's why we made the switch (and have been very glad that we did).

So yes, we saw the writing on the wall in spring 2020, luckily found a school we like with an opening, and there we have been the past two school years. We're staying one more because we think FCPS (and society) still needs a year to normalize and play some catch-up, as well as keeping the option to remain beyond next year just as a hedge against something like BA.2 or whatever's next coming along and throwing things completely back off track. But we've got many years of schooling left, and are excited to get back to FCPS when the time is right. We're "almost" there.[/quote]
