[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No president since Carter has sent their kids to any DC public school (and Mayor Fenty begged Obama).

Cross DCPS off your list.  [/b]

That leaves MoCo schools (but they just defunded their School Resource Officers / kicked police out).  Just insane.

Alexandria did the same, and has had major violence problems this year.

I would not consider the PG public schools.

That leaves NOVA schools.  Their school boards are packed with LWNJs (seriously - these people are crazy) but that may soon change. [/quote]

FCPS has done an excellent job, but many of the RWNJ are upset that they put an end to gaming admission to many of the enriched programs at places like TJ. For example, students in affluent areas were buying access to the entrance exam which gave them an unfair advantage, but when the school board put a stop to that it sent many of the RW-extremists over the edge.

Few think FCPS has done an excellent job in recent years, although they try to divert attention from their failures by doing things like adopting quotas by middle school for TJ admissions, which is intended to make people in the struggling, low-performing pyramids feel better about their kids’ lack of preparedness.  Of course, most of the kids in those pyramids will still never attend TJ.  [/quote]

Sure, the RWNJs are especially unhappy with FCPS since now they can't easily game admission into elite programs like TJ, but most everyone else is thrilled. [/quote]
Not elite anymore. Have you seen the math level for the new freshman classes. Yikes.[/quote]
