[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is in 8th in public and we have been touring privates for high school. They all want recommendations, esp. math, english and a counselor. Spoke to the counselor and she does not know who our kid is. Math teacher has 4 classes of about 30; same with English. This school also sends a lot of kids to TJ, and they are all going to want recommnedations also. I'm dreading this part of the admission process. So if you can afford it, I'd say one benefit of privates is smaller class sizes and the teachers will know who your kids are.[/quote] Yes. Related to this, I feel I know all of the kids in my kids' grade/class, and other parents know mine.[/quote] +1 The head of private middle school works almost full-time on placing all the 8th grade kids in the class. Almost all of them get their first couple of choices, be they public magnet programs, private schools, boarding schools. [/quote]
