[quote=Anonymous]My kids are in Arlington. Arlington has a lot of the same problems that MCPS has, but I do see horror stories from MCPS that I haven't seen here. At my kids' schools, kids get in trouble for tardies, have to be in class during class time, get suspended for fighting or other serious behavior issues, etc. My kids are really intelligent but a lot of their classes are still stretching them academically. For instance, my daughter already knows a ton of history but for her ninth grade history class had to write a paper that was extremely dense and full of citations, both primary and secondary. My son, who is a total math nerd, hasn't learned a lot in math but the writing assignments in his English class have been a great challenge for him. Of course it is extremely school- and even teacher-specific so there are probably schools in MCPS that are a lot better than many schools in NOVA. Plus, there are no guarantees of your child getting a good education in public school anywhere (I wish our kids were in private). I do still think you could do a lot worse than Arlington (as long it's not Oakridge). [/quote]
