[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child was at a Big 3 and we just moved to one of the schools mentioned here that feeds into Whitman. I would say its 85% of what we had last year. MCPS has no separate science teacher, PE is only once a week and the class size is large (26 kids and one teacher versus 19 kids and two teachers last year). i think the people who say the schools are on par with privates mean well but unless you've actually done the switch yourself, you just can't go around saying things like that. in addition, the afterschool offerings are mediocre at best. they are much better than what i had as a child at a public school but they do not compare to a Big 3. also, i have noticed a level of bullying that was not present at my Big 3 which emphasized character education. these schools are above average but they are not Big 3s which is okay for us right now but i may switch back later. [/quote] Pardon my ignorance. What is Big 3? [/quote]
