Uh, many privates are open or bring students on campus for limited activities.

People keep trotting out this dumb theory but where will people get the flu? No one is traveling and everyone who is not traveling is wearing masks. Keep paying for that expensive a$$ DL y’all. The private schools are about to get scooped by MCPS. Who’d have thunk it??

Apparently you are not paying attention. They will get the flu just like any other year. Many many people are not wearing masks. I went top pick up dinner in Gaithersburg/ Rockville last night walking around Rio lake the number of old white guys not wearing masks was astounding. Kids were, many others were.

I'm not particularly worried about old white guys walking around outdoors without masks, assuming they're keeping a reasonable distance from others. Statistically the odds of outdoor transmission are incredibly low, unless you're talking about some venue with people incredibly packed in like a concert or sporting event.

Nope! Did monthly contract for this very reason. We'll walk and see if they come after us. And no, we don't feel guilty. We pressed them on their re-opening plans and they were intentionally misleading to get us to enroll. Let them come after us. My husband's a lawyer - I'm not afraid.

Ew. Your poor kid

Wow you have really got some serious issues. Seek help, medication.

Seriously...gloating about cutting programs for other kids? What a loser.

My guess is OP meant they did the 10 month payment plan so they haven’t paid all that much yet and just plan to stop making payments.

Oh okay. I thought good credit was a thing but I don't know how nonpayment works. Unless its tuition insurance.

Yeah, she's on the hook for the whole amount.

I am not gloating. I'm listing it as an example of a benefit you will lose. Privates were ALREADY having problems after COVID and us enrolling and then unenrolling is going to make things even worse. If they had opened by now, we would have just waited out the year but these private schools are acting like cowards and dragging parents along for this slow ride toward re-opening. Waste of time and so not worth it! No private school is. So glad our kids can rejoin their neighborhood friends for long MCPS lunches and other fun activities instead of staring at strangers on a screen all day long.

Wow, you're a piece of work. I'm so relieved for your school that you're going elsewhere. You're the type of parent who sucks the air out of every room they enter, thinks their own child is perfect, is entitled and rude, and has no ability to read a room. Just go already and stop with the gloating and complaining and threats. The school will be more than fine.

Yes, you are literally gloating. In all caps. Relishing having really "stuck it" to us private school parents. Woo, good for you. Betcha can't wait to return to your prior school, feeling all righteous and victorious. Thank God you got away from those awful, demanding, intense and entitled families in private school, huh?

So pathetic.

OMG. I think I know who this person is. The comments and the writing style. Big chip and BIGGER issues. I’m going to grab a few screenshots and pass them along to someone that I know that could confirm. Too funny.

Monthly contract or monthly payment plan. The contract is binding and for the whole tuition unless you got insurance which is then required to have been at the school for a certain number of days before you withdraw.

We're not making our choices for schooling based on how much it costs. I know it is a hard concept to grasp for a lot of people who choose public but our family and those of our friends and family are choosing the private schools we choose because of our perception of benefits that make it worth the cost.

The fact that a public school system is reopening does not make even one iota of a difference for our family. And I can tell you point blank that the three private schools in which our children are enrolled won't even blink when MCPS or some other system reopens. It will not make a difference in their student population at all.

This. +1.

I sincerely doubt the HOS begged you to stay. If they did, it's the kind of private school you should have never enrolled your child in to begin with.

I was sort of blaming the school. The Director of Admissions should have recognized this nut and taken a pass.

What on earth are you rambling about? You must be talking abut preschool or younger grades? The 45 days was just a game. There is no plan to go back now and at best we will not be back for 2 months.

This person is a fake.

The “monthly payment plan” was the first tip. The constant reference to “privates” was another. The “it’s one they talk about on here.A lot[]” was the other. Just an angry person venting while making up things. Sad.
