[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We took our three boys out of Carderock and Plyle and sent them to local all boys, private schools. It became obvious to us that the administrations and teachers at these schools answered primarily to the MCPS bureaucracy. The teaching was OK, but the coaching was woeful. We expected this would continue at Whitman. The differences between the two environments and our son’s enthusiasm for all aspects of school (academic, athletics and social) were noticeable almost immediately. Our only regret was wondering why we didn’t make this switch sooner. The neighborhood kids who stayed in the Whitman track weren’t harmed by the experience. But, for our active, athletic boys, the private school path was the right one.[/quote] Same experience with me. Pulled one child out in 6th the other after 4th grade. Not they enjoy all aspects of school. The experience for them and me as a parent has been far superior. No regrets.[/quote]
