[quote=Anonymous]Mine goes to Longfellow in McLean and it's been great, but keep in mind that at home we supplement a LOT in the form of extra classes, private tutors etc. I am a firm believer in "education is far too important to be left solely to the schools". My logic is that by supplementing I am spending 20% of the cost of a private school.

He will be going to McLean HS next year. Even though McLean HS has a lot of students but I have heard it's quite solid as far as academics are concerned, sure there are disruptions here and there but for the most part things have been fine, everybody is super focused on good grades. Which school pyramid in NOVA are you in?

On a completely separate note, this phenomenon is worldwide, I went to a modest public school in a third world country around 35 yrs back and I can't tell you how dedicated and good all my teachers were. In the same breath, students were expected to follow strict discipline practices and could be punished for disrupting behavior. Things were so no nonsense back then, I can't believe the coddling we do these days.[/quote]
