[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Finally, one more thing that attracted us during these school tours. The "social curriculum" for want of a better word. There appears such an emphasis on social justice, character development, learning to "do the right thing" etc. at some of these private schools. I don't feel like our kids get much of that. And its attractive to us. [/quote] I am somewhat familiar with the so called social curriculum both in a private school and a public school, both located in Bethesda and the approach could not be more different. The private school always taught compassion and character development. It was always about others. In the public school the emphasis was on its own community, the privileged and the wealthy, throwing a piece of the pie to the underprivileged. They never realized how arrogant and self righteous that seemed. [/quote]
