[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the privates in PG necessarily offer a better education. I think the social environment is better for sure but I hear that many of the privates are lacking in the upper grades. They are too small to really offer a differentiated education.

In terms of public, many I know say it is teacher dependent and as long as they have stayed involved it as been fine.[/quote]

I think because the privates are pretty small it can be really dependent on the cohort in a particular class as far as whether they are "better" or not. The smallness can be hugely positive or hugely negative, it depends on what your child needs and the fit of that particular class at that particular school. Many of the private schools in PG do differentiate in the upper grades, however, they aren't going to have the numbers to accommodate a child who is working several grade levels ahead in math or a child with an LD who really needs specialized instruction in a certain topic. I think they do pretty well by the kids who are in between though. But again, I think this really comes down to what your child needs specifically. The publics are not uniformly bad, nor are the privates uniformly good. There are pros and cons to either.[/quote]
