[quote=Anonymous]Thanks, 10:39. I really appreciate the details. I'm certainly interested in hearing the negative from other people too, but if it's "I drove by Mount Vernon Community School and the kids I saw are not the same kids I saw playing there on the weekend" or something like that, then yes, I'll think you're a racist.

I read these boards all the time. So far, the specific negatives I've heard on here have been; problems with the administration; for ES, they don't tell you about transfers soon enough; good kids have been seated between the troublemakers; kids don't have iPads like Arlington; and there was something about "boob day" on a middle school tour (this one was awhile ago, but it really sticks in a person's brain).

I've also seen the comment that parents don't know how shitty the schools are until they leave. But what is it, specifically, that is happening once you leave? Kid is learning more quickly, kid is happier, school is more responsive?

I think there's so much attacking on here sometimes that the important facts are getting buried in the vitriol. [/quote]
