[quote=Anonymous]Many of us who use privates did our time in DCPS. I sent my own kids for 10, 9 and 10 years respectively---that's a total of 29 years of DCPS education. I'm not a picky consumer but dealing with DCPS is year-in and year-out is exhausting. We had entire school years without a permanent teacher. We had teachers leave mid year and not be replaced. My kids were never taught to write more than a RACE body paragraph (IYKYK) and in 6th grade and up never read a single full book for any English class (ironically they read more in elementary school.) We were super active parents in DCPS--- donors to the PTA, room parents, heck I even subbed at one point. But I wanted my kids to learn to write, write and think and so we applied out for high school (and for 8th grade for the middle kid). [/quote]
