[quote=Anonymous]Because there are still a lot of good programs in MCPS. If your kid is really advanced in math and science, it's your best option to keep that going.

Because MCPS offers more special ed services and support for kids with learning differences than most privates and religious schools.

Because lots of kids can thrive in larger, more diverse environments. And if you care about diversity you're going get to get far less in the private school system (especially economic diversity) than in public.

Because some people believe tuition money is better saved/invested/spent on college than K-12.

Of course there are problems in public schools (news flash: privates have their own issues too), and yeah, I think we're all upset about the chaos that's being introduced by all the changes happening next year. But the fact is, something like 90% of kids will be educated in public schools. That's worth supporting (and pushing for better) for the good of society, even if you put your kids on a different path.[/quote]
