Take Charge When Buying a Home
If you approach the home buying process intelligently and with confidence, you are much more likely to buy a house you'll be proud to call home.

Turns out Fairfax County’s teachers aren’t getting the 1% cost of living increase that had been in the works, because now that money is going to cover the increased costs to the school system of all the illegal immigrants who have recently migrated to Fairfax from Prince William.

My dear hubby and I really wanted to visit some of our cousins in the East, particularly in Virginia, Washington DC and Florida before the year ends. We have some cousins and friends who live in Virginia and they are inviting us. Virginia is a beautiful place to live. Moderate weather, mountains and hills not far from the sea and ocean front vistas means Virginia offers something special. It is romantic, rich with trees and gardens on rolling hills that go on forever. Close to the Virginia suburbs is Washington DC where many Virginians work. The Northern Virginia towns of Arlington, Fairfax, Reston, Manassas are not far off allowing Virginians an easy 30 minute commute to work. Many of these older towns offer great Virginia real estate buying opportunities. If you or your family is planning to move to Virginia, you might want to check out fairfax real estate. The homes and condos in Fairfax VA are a great bargain as the real estate market has been suppressed for several years. It

Jack Dale is no anti-testing zealot, shielding the little ones from the reality of a competitive world. He's not out there with the activists who believe the No Child Left Behind revolution in American schools has turned education into a grim, mechanistic culture.But the superintendent of Fairfax County schools, who presides over one of the highest-achieving systems in the land, has taken a stand at the schoolhouse door: "The last thing I'm going to do is subject some third-grader to tears because someone's standing over them saying, 'You must complete [this standardized test], you must complete.' That's not happening. Let them fire me for it."This from Marc Fisher of the Washington Post.
