[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Education in NOVA (Fairfax County) is light years ahead of education in most of the USA. I grew up in an affluent area in another state, and the schools do not offer as many opportunities. There are also less services for gifted kids and less services for kids with special needs compared to NOVA.[/quote] NOVA is not ahead of education in the states that do much better than Virginia, North or South. The top states for education consistently mention Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Quite a few posters claim the schools in NOVA use screens too much, don’t teach handwriting, don’t teach handwriting, don’t read complete books, just excerpts. There are great schools like TJ and others but a school system is judged by the whole state. [/quote]
