[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son just took the SAT at Wilson school today and I have to say I am not impressed with Wilson school.  The facility at Wilson school is so much inferior as compare to Langley HS.  I walked by the tennis courts at Wilson HS and they look awful.  Is this the best public school that DC can offer?

I find it highly amusing and telling that you judge the teaching and status  of a high school based on its tennis courts.  Wilson is an urban school with a diverse student body and teachers committed to teaching to kids raised in a city.  Langley is not only suburban, but it’s a wealthy, majority white school.  I would never  send my kids to Langley. There are some things that are frustrating about DCPS however it is a good education and my kids are very happy. They have a diverse socioeconomic friend group and they are independent thinkers and learners. They have to learn how to self advocate and  fundraise if they want extra activities or benefits. Life is not being handed to them on a silver platter — even though we could. So, I suppose it’s about our family value value systems. Please stay in Virginia if our tennis courts are not up to your standards. [/quote]

What's with metal detectors at Wilson school?  Why do they have them @Wilson school?  I don't see metal detectors in FCPS schools like James Madison, Woodson or Oakton.[/quote]

A better question: Why don’t all high schools have metal detectors? But besides that, 
You are intellectually unequipped to navigate urban areas and should stay within the confines of Fairfax. Seriously. [/quote]

Since there has never been a mass shooting at an urban high school — PP is right that metal detectors are in the wrong schools. [/quote]

Exactly why - I personally love the metal detectors.  All DCPS secondary schools have them - middle and high.  More of a nuisance for the kids as late arrivals are tough.  But...they learn to plan![/quote]
