[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a huge advocate for free public education. I think quality education should be accessible to all regardless of income level. In MCPS, my children will attend public school. That said, we lived previously in an area where there was only one high school with nearly 8,000 students. Gang issues were pervasive. For the safety of my own children, I would have opted for private.

MCPS’ schools have their own issues but so do private schools. On the whole, you can get a really strong education and often better what private schools offer.[/quote]

I’m also a huge advocate for public school and I was a public school teacher for over a decade. I spoke up frequently about the over-testing, the low standards, and the useless initiatives that only served to keep people employed in offices. Students aren’t receiving a quality education, and ultimately I left. I grew tired of fighting and I was sickened by what I saw behind the curtain. I put my own children in private.

Private isn’t perfect, but it’s better. And now that I work in one and see behind its curtain, I don’t feel as sick by what I see. [/quote]
