[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had friends who have gone to private and switched back. This is their opinions of their religious private school, compared to their FCPS home school: -The private school teaches with the kids facing the white board. There is less innovation-- kids are taught in a really traditional manner and there are expectations of a certain type of behavior. -It's VERY sheltered. And there were some rather sexist statements made to girls to sort of put them in their place that was alarming. -ADD kids do not survive in the school that they were at. You either behaved a certain way, or you were punished-- in view of all of your peers. There was shaming done that was a red flag for them. -Pros: textbooks. Cons: they didn't use them. I'm sure there are great private schools. But in FCPS: it doesn't seem worth it.[/quote] I assumed we were discussing elite private schools like Sidwell.[/quote]
