[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended private school for 12 years and sometimes it was a liability rather than a help in my college application process and beyond. The only reason I would send my kids to private is if they did not thrive in public school for some reason. [/quote]

How can any kid thrive in the MCPS environment now?  Anyone who says they are is lying.[/quote]

Seriously WTF is wrong with you?  My 15 yo cried when she got Covid, not because she was sick, but because she was going to miss so much school. She was boosted this weekend, and said she didn’t care if she had a reaction, she was going to school no matter what today because she was so excited for her first day of the new semester. 
So screw you. [/quote]

Just cause she wants to be there doesn't mean she is thriving.  Is she getting straight A's?  Cause you realize that no longer means anything.[/quote]

Just because she’s happy in school DOESN’T mean she’s thriving?  That’s the exact definition of thriving. [/quote]

Some private school parents will just never believe that a happy, educationally challenged, well-adjusted, public school kid exists. They think our kids are like Bigfoot, rumored but never seen, and they employ all of these No True Scotsman fallacies to convince us the same.

If we say our kids are happy, they say our kids just aren't telling us about the gang initiation they obviously witnessed in the 3rd grade bathroom that day.

If we say our kids are challenged, they say we have low expectations.

If we say our kids are doing well in school, they say it's grade inflation.

When our kids are admitted the same colleges as theirs, they say it's pity on the part of admissions officers.

You can't win with folks like the PP, so it's better not to even try.
