[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PP said that she and her family moved.  They are no longer local.

Our family did the exact same thing.  We made the decision on March 12, 2020.  We knew that there would be no political will to open schools again after the "two weeks to stop the spread" were up, plus Trump, Trump, Trump.  Put our house on the market after a frenzy of cleaning, painting, mulching and staging.  Got an offer straight away and fled for another part of the Commonwealth with excellent, reasonably priced (unlike the D.C. area) privates who loved our kids' stratospheric test scores and excellent grades.  Our kids have never been happier.  [/quote]

I'm the OP.  We moved to private this year not because FCPS closed last year, but because FCPS sucks.  It sucked before virtual, and then virtual was bad even for virtual, plus it brought the bad right into our house so that we could see everything first hand.  We aren't idiots who want our kid to die rather than miss school.  We agreed with the decision to close, but would have preferred a decision to keep kids safe by making the necessary changes to the school's physical layout, but FCPS doesn't have the money or the ability to adapt to anything.  Part of this is the low taxes foisted on us by local "conservatives," which leaves FCPS a poor school district in a rich community.  So we are in private now because it's better in every way, and we trust that if it gets to the point where even all their precautions (and they do everything possible) can't keep our kids safe, then they will close rather than risk the health of their students, and we will be fine for that.

So I was looking for a district that is more adaptable and perhaps better-funded than FCPS, with less red tape and admin and more teaching and caring about kids.  I am not interested in hearing about those who moved out to the parts of Virginia where people won't wear masks and won't get vaccinated and don't care who they kill in the process, because I wouldn't send my kid to any school where the majority of parents are that entitled and selfish.[/quote]
