[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people who care about their kids education and learning environment understand how the school ratings work. Given the chance to choose between a 5 or a 9, I'm picking the 9. I could care less about the race of the students. [/quote] Amen! A child will ALWAYS receive a better education a school with a higher greatschools rating. That's just a fact. [/quote] Not necessarily. One of the worst elementary teachers I have ever encountered was at Waynewood Elementary in FCPS (rated highly by Waynewood moms who want to maintain the reputation of their supposedly elite neighborhood). The children of "important" parents were not in her room! It was so painfully obvious to observe how the clique-y moms made sure things were handled in the way that favored them and how they bragged that Waynewood feels "just like a private school." Oh goody--lots of snotty brats with helicopter parents who feel entitled to get their way.[/quote]
