[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember thinking FCPS was faltering in 2012-13. Our kids are young adults now. Parents in NOVA have a lot of heavy mental investment in the phrase "but the schools are good, we live here for the schools". The cost of living is insane, but at least the schools make the financial pain worth it. So it's very tough to get people in Fairfax to admit the hard truth to themselves that the schools have declined substantially, because if you admit that, then it means the cost of living is insane AND the schools aren't as great anymore and you're staying for both why, exactly?? Answering the question requires getting real. It would force hard decisions about one's life decisions.[/quote]

I guess you pay more money to live in a desirable area and to be around other desirable people? I live in a similar area and I will say most of the families and parents around us are similarly driven and have certain expectations for their kids.[/quote]

It doesn't matter if the schools are failing[/quote]
