[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I grew up going to private catholic school and I love private school but cannot justify the cost. I also cannot justify the sheltering and cannot express the difficulty I had socially and culture shock going from private school to college and the working world. My husband also went to private and has a similar experience. Our friends that went to public are no less successful because we’re all in an affluent area.

My boys are in fcps Langley pyramid. My older one is in 3rd grade AAP, the class size in AAP is 19, it’s everything I ever wanted from a school. The teacher and academics are top notch. Feels like private school and I can’t say enough good things. It’s very challenging and very engaging. I will say that 2nd grade gened was borderline awful with extremely slow pace and low standards. We are at a center school with an extremely present principal and everything is really fantastic. I miss the coddling and warm and fuzzy that I felt at a private school but otherwise we are extremely satisfied.  I would probably not be satisfied if he wasn’t in AAP.

I think if you are in the Langley pyramid your kids are still pretty sheltered and your kids might still have a culture shock going to college (just drive through the parking lot at Langley and see the cars that teenagers are driving). [/quote]
