[quote=Anonymous]We're extremely religious (if you could weekly service attendance plus volunteering and making that the center of our identity as extreme). But above and beyond the values match, there was: - FCPS watering down elementary school advanced math starting this year - Lack of writing instruction in FCPS (I hear this has gotten better with Benchmark) - Having kids at 1 school is better for my schedule than the staggered start times that have to happen in area publics due to bus schedules - Peer group was just a better fit for my hardest-to-find-a-peer-group for kid, and a good enough fit for my other kids. - Content subjects like social studies and science are just better in our private. This is fairly minor but continuously impresses me. I have voracious readers for children who would have learned a lot on their own no matter what, but I certainly don't mind them actually learning it in school.[/quote]
