[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like another PP, my kids went to public schools K-12 in ACPS. They wound up at UVA and William & Mary.

When you have one large high school, two things happen:
1. The concentration of resources means that there is an incredible amount of resources: tons of AP classes but also lots of electives.
2. You have a greater awareness of the full range of American teenagers. There are struggling kids across the country, in every jurisdiction. Sometimes they are intentionally segregated away from the people living the typical DCUM life.

My kids' "exposure" to this broader span of reality did not negatively impact their trajectory. If anything, I think they enter adulthood with more awareness than those that live within a narrow band.

Also, I live in a nice neighborhood in the West End. Yes, those exist in Alexandria beyond Del Ray and Old Town.

I don't think this city is perfect by any means, but the level of rage displayed on this thread is... odd.[/quote]

Move to the west end to understand what you call "rage." [/quote]
