[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The classes at Langley truly are no more challenging than those at any other well-regarded school.

If you pay a high price for a home in order to attend Langley, you are paying for the peer group.  Not the teachers.  [/quote]

Disagree.  Many teachers have mentioned at BTSN and elsewhere that they waited years for an opening at Langley and jumped when they found one.  The vast majority of teachers very much want to be there and are excellent at what they teach.  [/quote]

That's because it's easier to teach at Langley, those students do well no matter who is teaching them.  [/quote]

A bit dated, but it's interesting to me that the last FCPS teacher satisfaction survey found teachers were happiest at McLean (at the time about 8% FARMS) and Falls Church (at the time about 55% FARMS).  For whatever reason, most Langley staff chose not to participate.
