[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the younger grades, I really like my kids going to school with neighborhood friends and also we have so many really great and committed teachers.
For HS, I’m happy with the diversity and challenge of courses offered.
Also, I feel like private schools is part of a pattern of spoiling kids….should everything be so perfect for them?  I feel like it’s okay to sometimes get a not great teacher or have badly behaved classmates.
The truth is that most our advanced students will never have a class wiith, and are very unlikely to even cross paths with, the kids that are causing the trouble like the Magruder kid.

+1.  I’m a graduate of MCPS and generally a supporter of public school.  We have been overall very pleased with the quality and rigor of the teachers and classes in public, particularly at our W high school.  We can afford private and gave our kids the option to apply in middle school and again in high school and both had no interest.  My kids are happy, comfortable navigating a larger environment without being coddled and have good friends who live close by.  It’s not perfect, but we have no regrets.[/quote]

You are fortunate.  I had a crappy MCPS experience and it’s hot or miss for my kids. If we could afford it we’d switch our kids and not think twice.  [/quote]
