[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is split on Feynman. Half the parents (mostly moms!) here are prestige conscious- so big 3 or bust. They hate upstarts like Feynman, so big "naysayers". The owners dont do any favor to this opinion by moving every other year and giving interviews that reinroces the school is new or that they hired consultants to burnish image or that they are trying to building up the school's higher grades (as a non-profit) without a clear line of sight into how that might look. The other half of the "yays" who are either enamored by the slick marketing campaign or a small fraction who really believe in gifted/talented kids can be "built" with right exposure to STEM from an early age.

The ideal person you should be asking is someone who has 2 kids- one who goes/went to Feynman and the other who goes/went to MoCo HGC or FCPS system. Good luck finding that ideal person to interview :)[/quote]

We have one at Feynman one at a big 3.  We could not be happier with Feynman and believe it is serving our child extremely well.  I look forward to socializing with the Feynman parents more than I look forward to our big 3 social events.  There is a joy and enthusiasm about the place and our child cannot wait to get to school every day and wants to stay for after school activities. No question that the kids are very talented with families that are supportive and looking to build a great institution.  [/quote]

Can you talk about the difference in curriculum between Feynman and your other child's school? What is it about Feynman that makes it a good fit for one child but not the other?[/quote]
