[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought in a “good” pyramid of FCPS and planned to go public, until colleagues & neighbors told us that FCPS today has a “watered down” curriculum compared to 25-30 years ago. A FCPS teacher quietly told us to go private, because when FCPS went to “no printed math textbooks” in her school, the change caused a sharp drop in elementary math achievement. We now hope to go private, despite no hooks. I think the number of private school places are roughly fixed, while the demand has gone up. I doubt admissions will get easier anytime soon. [/quote] +1. We’re not very happy with our FCPS elementary education, and many kids from our “good” pyramid have left for private school. I imagine there is increased demand from families who previously would have stayed in public school.[/quote]
