[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all so confusing!  When I was a kid, you just went to the school that was nearby and your friends from kindergarten were in your graduating class senior year.  It's sad knowing my kids probably won't have that.  MCPS feels a little like the death star to me.  But that's just me.[/quote]

You too can accomplish this by just staying where you are. There are many choices in this system, but if you want it to be simple you can just stay where you are and go to your home school for elementary, middle, and high. I agree that choices tend to make people crazy, but choice is a good thing.[/quote]

I posted the comment you responded to:  
Unfortunately, this is not true.  Our home elementary school is very unpopular and parents try to get into magnets for K, and typically end up moving in the first year or two out of disappointment with the school.  The middle school also faces serious challenges, and families with the means to do so tend to find ways to avoid it (magnets, move, private).  So even if we stuck it out, the likelihood of any of our neighbors or my kids' friends still being there by the time my kid graduates is just about zero.  The child sitting next to him at graduation won't be one of the kids he's friends with now.  That there are options to jump all over the county for special programs is a double-edged sword.  Opportunities are great, but it really makes it hard to strengthen an already struggling local school.[/quote]
