[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never choose Colvin Run over a good private school.  After all, it's just the FCPS curriculum which has gone increasingly downhill over the years.  I'd take an excellent private school that delves deeply into all subjects over a FCPS any day, but sadly do not have that choice.

And before anyone asks, yes, I do have one child in AAP and one in Gen Ed.  The one in AAP isn't learning anything the Gen Ed child hasn't learned, but there sure is a lot more busy work and homework assigned.  My friends with kids in private schools have learned so much more than either of my kids. [/quote]

Agree completely.  Anyone who ghinks thinks Colvin Run (or any FCPS school) is at all equivalent to private is delusional.

As a parent that [b]had [/b]kids in both private and FCPS AAP (not Colvin Run)...I would not say the choice is that clear cut.  Private will have way less resources than any FCPS AAP school...Private will typically go deep into a subject but not cover the breadth that FCPS AAP covers.  After spending $70K /yr for two private school educations...I will take FCPS AAP over private.  However, if my DS's did not get into FCPS AAP...they would still be in private.[/quote][/quote]
