[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, if you are coming from a private school neither will compare and you will feel the environment and education is slightly less than. It doesn't mean they aren't ok schools it just means your experience is likely not going to be as glowing as someone who knows nothing but that public school. [/quote]

I disagree.  There are things your child will get in either of these public schools that they would not in private- dedicated specials teachers, a librarian, facilities like a gym or cafeteria, highly qualified teachers (they have to be certified to teach in public school), and diversity.

Class sizes are great in private schools, and I do think that’s hugely important, but that’s it.  Maybe parent involvement is better.  However, when I look at the whole picture- I don’t get this comment or those like it.  [/quote]

Uhhhh do you not understand what many private schools offer lol? [/quote]

Uhhhhhh….what about what I said is wrong?[/quote]

Do you actually think private schools don’t have all the things you listed, at a bare minimum?[/quote]

They don’t.  Whether you like it or not, they don’t have the money, and therefore, the resources a public school does.  Especially in a well-funded district like Arlington.  [/quote]
