Takoma Park is a cute little town. Falls Church City is a bunch of ugly houses, strip malls and bowling alleys.

Tiny schools with minimal diversity and limited class options compared to Arlington, Fairfax or Montgomery.

Almost as good as Idaho! No thanks.

Better quality education and less problems though.

We looked at FCC are were not impressed. Apart from offering Chinese, the curriculum is mediocre, particularly as to math/science courses and other electives.

Really? Then MCPS with its Curriculum 2.0 and differentiated instruction will seem horrible to you. My DS was bored in class while the teacher was occupied with students working several below his level. The disruption from kids was overwhelming the teacher.

Our move to an FCPS school area, though not optimum, gave DS access to different levels of gifted services. He is doing better.

The lesson we learned was never listen to Realtors, union associated teachers, etc. Do your research well.

I'm currently in a 2br 2ba apartment in Bethesda for $2500/month. Utilities are cheap--the building is newish. Schools are good. It's very close to the metro and is just right for me, DH and our 2 year old. However, I think it would be tight for your family.

Unfortunately, introspection, which this PP clearly lacks, is the only cure for being an uneducated person who has been conned into identifying with the goals of the 1% (I'm being sort of sarcastic here, but you get my point), in other words for being a total TOOL.

re·lapse (r-lps)
intr.v. re·lapsed, re·laps·ing, re·laps·es
1. To fall or slide back into a former state.
2. To regress after partial recovery from illness.
3. To slip back into bad ways; backslide.

Perhaps you need the education and lessons in civility?

Right. It makes sense only if you can prove THIS anonymous poster had used profanity in an earlier post, which you can't.
