[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would and am.  MCPS is not what it was 20 years ago.  Private schools give a value add for your kids that public does not--smaller classes, better sports, superior food, a better network, far superior facilities.  [/quote]

I’ve got no problem with the contention that private schools offer something public ones do not.

But the whole “decline” narrative — does this actually mean anything at all other than MCPS schools are more diverse than they were a generation ago?[/quote]

Why is diverse better?  I have no problem with my kids being with a bunch a mostly smart and mostly very wealthy kids.

I’m well off. Virtually my entire peer group is well educated and wealthy. Why would I want my kids to have a lesser peer group?[/quote]
Dp.. because the world is made up of diverse people, and exposure to diverse groups of people makes you better able to deal with the real world.  It also makes you have more empathy for other people.

You clearly live in a bubble and expect your kid to, as well. One day, that bubble may pop.[/quote]

Well said, PP. Our private school is much more diverse than our neighborhood W school (Whitman). We're so happy to have escaped the bubble of the Whitman cluster so that our kids can experience diversity at their school. It was a major factor for us in deciding to send our DC to the private school.[/quote]
