[quote=Anonymous]We left FCPS for a more rural part of Virginia, and the quality of our kids' education went up in spades. In fact, our younger one had to reach really deep initially to catch up on writing, because FCPS hadn't been making the students in her grade do any real writing. This kid went from filling in blanks on worksheets in FCPS to having to compose three-page essays overnight on the same subject matter. Also, math class moves A LOT faster and is structured differently. This year, our HS freshman is taking geometry but it just became trig and is quickly steaming ahead toward basic calculus concepts by the end of the year. Our kid's new math, English, and history teachers didn't seem particularly shocked by these learning deficits; it's like it all made sense to them as soon as we mentioned where we had moved from. Just our experience.[/quote]
