[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neighbors who do this (MoCo, W cluster) do it because: - family 1: wanted a religion-based education, always planned to go private - family 2: special needs kid, just felt like private was a better fit; never planned to go private - family 3: status/want to show off money; have several kids, all in different privates and travel sports; probably always planned to go private - family 4: both parents teach at the same private school, tuition is covered and it's convenient; would switch to public if the circumstances changed[/quote] Not your neighbor but also in Bethesda. Add this: Family 5: kids turned off by rote “multiple choice” teaching, lack of discipline and rowdiness in classrooms, overcrowded schools where kids felt like “numbers,” ridiculous curriculum with known mistakes not corrected, teachers who can’t spell, etc., etc. The “best” public’s are not at all like the publics we attended years ago.
