[quote=Anonymous]My sister's kids go to a very fancy, very expensive private school in another state. The facilities may not be quite so fancy as yours, but they have a private garden/farm and the kids work the farm, harvest the veggies, they cook the food on site from the garden, etc. I've seen some of the work the kids do. Some of it includes interesting projects, the sort of math drills that parents around here lament the lack of, etc. But really, whether 1st grade is luxurious or middle-of-the-road, it's 1st grade. Or 4th grade, or whatever. The kids complain about the schoolwork and have issues with cliques. And the cohort is important -- my nieces and nephews only know fellow rich kids (besides us, UMC in FCPS). [/quote]
