[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP who stated that Saratoga and Key both have good teachers. I don’t have any experience with Lee yet, but I’m sure it does, too. The schools have challenges to educate a very diverse student body, but my children are doing well in the pyramid. I’m not sure they would do any better elsewhere. I’m also glad my children aren’t dealing with the “jetting to Europe for Spring Break is normal” crowd.

Travel to places other than Springfield Mall is probably good for kids.  [/quote]

This is so ignorant. My students travel a lot. They visit family all over the world, in addition to beach trips and vacations to usual places.[/quote]

You can’t have it both ways. Either these kids travel to other places like students in other pyramids, or they don’t. [/quote]

DP.  There's a middle ground between vacationing at the Springfield Mall or Europe.  Many people prefer that middle ground, not just parents of kids at Lee.  If you prefer that your kids go to school with other kids who vacation in Europe, that's fine.  Others have different preferences.  [/quote]

I do prefer that my kids go to school with kids who've seen other parts of the world besides the mall and Nags Head.

And, if they vacationed in Europe, they probably did take a big jet and went when they weren't in school.  Would you rather they take a Turboprop while school was still in session?[/quote]

Np- Most of us want middle ground. We don’t want to hear kids talking about where they “summer”, or complaining about the snow in Sundance this year.[/quote]

As a general matter, kids in FCPS don't use "summer" as a verb.  Are you deciding between Lee and Andover?

Some do go on ski trips with their families.  We never did, but I can't imagine holding that against anyone.   [/quote]

No you’re just concerned about the mall and Nags Head. Don’t worry I’m sure you have struck the perfect balance and have made the best choices. You have managed to claim the middle road AND look down at children of lesser means. We congratulate you,[/quote]
