[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agonize about sending my children to private school vs public.  The small classes, network they build, and facilities are something I would love for them to have.  If money were no object,  they would already be at a local private.  Given our finances--too high for much financial aid but not high enough to allow us avoid struggling, we are sticking with MCPS.  Is money the only thing that keeps you in public or would you do it if money was no object?[/quote]

It is for us, 100%. That doesn’t mean public schools are bad. In this area, the schools are good and kids have many opportunities. Perhaps find math or language arts enrichment program that you can afford if you worry about academics. As for network - I do feel that public school parents are somewhat distant. My friends that have kids in private have play dates all the time, party invites… I know maybe two parents at our school and that’s because I’m actively pursuing the friendship (because of my kids). If I didn’t reach out our kids would never see each other outside the classroom. Exhausting sometimes 🙄[/quote]
