Not the PP, but I live in Vienna/Great Falls/McLean and am definitely "paying".  However, my kids aren't in AAP.  So I'm not sure what it is my family is getting out of living in this area, since my kids have to attend a center school, yet don't benefit from it at all.

I guess the point is, it really doesn't matter what part of the county you live in; if your kids are in Gen Ed, yet still have to attend a center, it's the worst of all worlds.  Whatever happened to the smallish, neighborhood school?  Certainly, when we moved to this area, we weren't expecting our kids to have to attend a center.  That came to us, after we had been living here for several years.  We'd be thrilled if there were no more centers, at least in this part of the county where there is no need for them whatsoever.

[b]Ah yes, the 'we moved here and then our school became a center' belly-acher[/b]. If it really is POW camp you make it out to be then I would move heaven and earth to get my kids out of there. Our GE kid was in a weak school and we moved, yes, we moved into a much stronger school. We figured our child was going to attend for years so bit the bullet. We lost money on the sale of our house, the commutes to work are long and we live in a house that is far from a dream home.

How about stop hand-wringing here and move your child to a better school.[/quote]

Right, because this has only ever happened to one person before.  Please.   :roll: [/quote]
