[quote=Anonymous]I’ve had a kid in FCPS for the last 15 years, so a lot of “first two weeks”. I don’t see this accomplishing what you expect it to, OP. The first two weeks are going to be settling in, learning routines, etc. and nothing like what things will be like down the road. On top of that, your DS will be trying to adapt to public school for the first time, with larger classes and less personal attention, in addition to being new and not knowing anyone while many of these kids will have been classmates for years (especially in a school with only 1 or 2 AAP classes per grade). He’s not going to have anything close to an accurate experience on which to base a school choice. And that’s assuming a 5th grader should be making that choice, which is a whole other issue (and FWIW, while I agree with considering his preferences, test driving public school and letting him decide is not how I’d go about it).[/quote]
