[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Similarly, my friends who have moved outside the city public system have found their kids behind initially, particularly in writing and math. Telling people that the Baltimore City school system is great, IMO, is inconsistent with the truth, and not what most people here believe. The curriculum and facilities really are behind both the privates and county publics. Your claim that these factors don't matter isn't really credible to me. [/quote] Were your friend's children in Roland Park elementary or one of the other "good" public schools? I know of several students who have gone from Roland Park elementary into Gilman, Bryn Mawr, and Friends and not been behind in their writing and math. Those children were considered gifted in the public school, however, and are average in their private. Perhaps a non-gifted child would struggle more?[/quote] Yes, they were otherwise what would be the point of mentioning it the context of those schools. Nearly all in-district students are in what you called the "gifted" track, which would just be normal curriculum elsewhere. [/quote]
