[quote=Anonymous]I think this varies widely by school it's hard to comment on most subjects.  I agree with pp that what private schools are able to do in science in ES is SO much better than what is done in FCPS.  I worked at a private school, but have my kids in public (AAP).  The science curriculum is absolutely atrocious in FCPS.

The private schools that I had experience with had a lot of variability between teachers and curriculum (at the same school).  So some teachers did an excellent job teaching writing, but other teachers in the same grade did not.  One school didn't do a great job with writing until 6th grade and then exceeded what my kids have done in middle school in FCPS.  Some teachers did an amazing job engaging kids in history, and some taught more by rote memorization.

FCPS AAP math is better than what I saw in public school all the way around.

Public school is much more anonymous, and you will get a lot less information about what happens in the classroom.  You will also have no say over how your children are taught or who they are placed with.  For some parents, I think that's a hard transition, but in the long run I think it's better for students for the parents to not be so involved.  [/quote]
