[quote=Anonymous]“ here. Where we came from, elsewhere in the USA, people did NOT have this kind of advice or these kinds of complaints. So it cannot be a universal situation. This is why it seems nuts to us, especially given positive marketing about FCPS.

No doubt some other areas are like FCPS. No telling how uncommon or common it might be nationally, however.”

I think it is because our set up here is kind of unusual. We are as a whole a well off suburban county. A couple decades ago the county was more uniformly MC and so was a better w  school system. More recently Fairfax has seen a lot of lower income immigration and this has stretched the system a lot and watered things down a bit in an effort to catch that lower tier better.

Where I am from suburban schools are smaller and have less SES diversity so they are not dealing with the same challenges. Critically though the SB and school district is on a size that can actually be responsive to parent input - here the bureaucracy is so big they really seem to ignore what rank and file parents want.
