[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Wait... are you suggesting that public schools aren't keeping up with private schools? That's outrageous![/quote]

MCPS used to be on par with private schools. Setting high expectations that teachers will actually teach, give feedback, and challenge students is a management/leadership issue not a money issue. Private schools will always out pace public schools in terms of fancy facilities and physical resources but do not fool yourself that public schools can only afford to set low expectations and not teach kids.

Agreed that MCPS used to be so much better.  I still can't believe we paid the price we did for housing here and now are faced with the fact we can't afford private schools.  We should have moved to a less expensive part of Mont Co. and commuted our kids in for private, which is what I bet people will start doing instead of paying through the nose to live in Bethesda Chevy Chase.

This statement is so incredibly true!  We just did not know how good we had it with Weast, Starr has got to go.[/quote]
