[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We pulled our kids from public school (FCPS) a few years ago because we wanted well-behaved students and a classroom conducive to learning, fewer political distractions, and a better student-to-teacher ratio; education is a priority for our family and that's where we spent most of our discretionary income. The smaller schools, tighter-knit social circle, and frankly, far less "problematic" students or "drama" has been a breath of fresh air. We could never go back to public school at this point. Most of the kids in our neighborhood are still in public school. The kids still play together in the neighborhood; our kids also play organized sports, dance, etc. and still have their friends from those activities. We still go to the community pool and the kids play with other kids there just as well as they did before. I do sometimes miss the convenience of sending the kids to the bus stop, but other than that, I miss nothing about the "public school experience."[/quote] These are all the same reasons we did too. TBH, it's nice not having to pay much attention to what is going on in publics. [/quote]
