	I live in Fairfax County, VA (10 miles from Washington D.C.)
	and it's supposed to have THE best school district in the
	country (that's what the local school authorities and
	newspapers claim; even if it is not THE best, I am convinced
	it's probably in the top five).

	Enormous amounts of money are spent in public education,
	library systems, recreational/educational activities in
	Fairfax county. Also, Reston (where I live) is a small town
	20 miles from Washington DC and is almost tailor made for
	families with small/school-going children.

	I don't have any children myself, but from the local newspapers
	and the statistics they give, and from what I have seen (I've
	visited many local schools for adult education and evening classes)
	I have no doubt that Fairfax County school district has to be
	one of the best. Also, pay of the teachers here is among the
	highest in the country.
