[quote=Anonymous]A few thoughts: 1. This is probably true when comparing how an UMC kid does in a decent public school versus a decent private school, but when you’re looking at significant deficiencies (like we are with MCPS K-8 right now), a decent alternative makes a bigger difference. 2. Public schools in affluent areas can be just as cloistered and difficult for kids who don’t fit a certain mold as private schools. I can personally attest to that, having grown up going to public schools in Northern Westchester County in NY. The private HS I went to was significantly more diverse. At the end of the day, no study is going to prescribe what works for a given kid. For some kids, public school is great; for others it’s a disaster. Same thing for private schools. At the end of the day you have to do what’s best for your kid and your family.[/quote]
