[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, I think the private schools prepare kids to be leaders rather than workers.  My husband and I both went to public and we both agree that we were taught to be workers compared to my daughter who is being trained to be a leader lots of project/ presentations etc.  I'm sure the HGC is similiar.[/quote]
All public schools are the same... They did not teach u that in private school?

Ok I should have added the "elite" publics to this mix.  People in this area pay insane amounts more to live in school clusters that are less economically diverse for many of the same reasons.  Unlike private parents, they can someday recoup some of the premium when they sell their house assuming that their school district didn't engage in some crappy social engineering program which ruined their public school.  I think in most of the area, any kid who applies him/ herself can get a good education.  The hurdle is just higher for some kids than others based on a lot of factors ( peer influences, bullying, safety,  overall preparation of the class..as it will determine the level that the teacher teaches too, etc).

MCPS can create a lot of mediocre schools through social engineering  but if they strong arm the top publics' for this endeavor people are just going to send their kids to private.  200k premium in housing price plus extra taxes goes a long way towards tuition.[/quote]
