[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 [b]when you’re looking at significant deficiencies (like we are with MCPS K-8 right now[/b]), 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]

Can we have some perspective here, please? The JHU report found that Curriculum 2.0 has problems and that better curricula are available. The JHU report did not find that Curriculum 2.0 is a terrible horrible no good very bad curriculum, and you'd be better off putting your child in the Hominy, Oklahoma, public schools.
