[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who prefer public over private and claim its higher quality clearly have never worked at public schools and private schools. The teachers are great at some dc public schools and do make more money HOWEVER [b]there is just no way to balance the high class sizes, loads of mandatory district and PARCC test prep, and all the kids with severe special needs who cannot get the services they need and are just placed in the mainstream classroom because DCPS doesn’t want to pay for other placements.[/b] Educator who has worked at public for decades and sends kids to modest private school with a HHI under 200k[/quote] I live one block from Langley HS and but my kids go to Sidwell and Madeira. My younger sister lives behind Mclean HS but her kid goes to Maret. The high class sizes at these public schools are ridiculous and please do not get me started on AP classes.[/quote]
