Do you have any first-hand experience with MoCo schools vs. private? I do. We spent a total of ten years in MCPS with two kids before giving up and going private. There is FAR more grade inflation in MCPS than at private school, and the work is far more rigorous - lots of writing, creative thinking, project-based work, and NO MULTIPLE CHOICE WORKSHEETS!  Read the article in Bethesda Magazine - very illuminating. Our county officials believe they have to choose between helping the immigrant children who will may not graduate, and the offspring of college-educated affluent people. Sadly, that's not the real choice. They need to do both. Our "good" schools are far behind those of other developed nations. We need to challenge all our kids to excel. [/quote]

Yes I do.  There are tons of 'valedictorians' in private school with mediocre SATs.  That doesn't happen at public schools.  At a MoCo high school there are perfect SATs with an unweighted 3.5.

It's also better for kids in the long run not to be coddled like they are in a private school.  I also see the results of those coddled children at the university -- shocked at their first "B".  [/quote]
