Anyone regret sending their kids to public school?

My 3 year old seems advanced based on her verbal and cognitive skills to date--should I assume she will be bored by the curriculum as it is taught? We can't afford private school. What can I do?

Relax. Actually the private school curriculums are not more advanced than MCPS. They might have a little more flexibility but having children in both MCPS and private school I actually think MCPS offers more opportunities for advancement, especially starting in 4th grade.

Most of my DCs friends have come all the way through MCPS, are in high school now, and seem to be smart, ambitious, motivated kids. And they actually seem to like school a lot, which is remarkable given that these are high schoolers.

We're doing a K-8 private and public high - but not in Mo Co.
