[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can only speak to Northern Virginia.

[b]I think the parents most like this end up in FCPS because of the AAP option.[/b]

We are in Arlington and it's not like what you describe at all.  Arlington is a big place though.  I guess it could be like that some places.  We are in Westover area.  Most of the kids walk to and from school and they walk alone and no one thinks twice.  It's very un helicoptery.  I think that's why people choose to live where we do actually.

I have never done my kids homework and it's never once crossed my mind to do it for them.  I don't call the teachers about much of anything really let alone a grade.  No one I know does these things.[/quote]

Yes, if you end up in Fairfax, avoid the AAP center schools if you want to stay away from the competitiveness. [/quote]

Not all center schools are like this. We're in the Burke/Springfield/Annandale/Fairfax area and our center isn't.[/quote]

Is the Churchill Road Elementary center school like this? [/quote]
