[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s just amazing to me that people truly look at the Fairfax County Public School system, and think to themselves “this, this is the pinnacle of what the world has to offer my child (or any other)” and so conclude the best place for them for as much of the year as possible is a FCPS facility. Maybe it’s a lack of imagination? Parental fatigue? It’s just very sad.[/quote]

People who think FCPS is the pinnacle of education often come from elsewhere in the country with public school systems that are a lot worse. FCPS is objectively better than what they had but it is not objectively good. A lot of this is "I've made it!" ego.  Add in the political piece that the board is all Dems and therefore it must be great and there is no convincing these people that their kid getting a 3.6 on watered down material and with infinite retakes isn't actually learning that much.[/quote]

We came from California, so of course FCPS feels like the pinnacle.  California schools are terrible.

If we had come from Texas, where we were before California, FCPS as it is now would have been a lateral move or slight downgrade.  Texas has great schools.[/quote]
