[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds lie a waste whenyou can get just as good of an education at a public school.  Look at their classmates in college, how many went private vs public?  If you do well, you are going to go where you want to go for college[/quote]

Agree, unless you live in DC in any other DC ward,but Ward3 . Not sure why people who live in MOCo or FF county would choose private, unless they are an alum and want DC to go to their school or want the diversity that DC privates offer.[/quote]

1) Classes that are way too large for my child to learn effectively
2) One size fits all approach
3) Very little PE, Science, Art , Music as compared to private
4) Huge push for going ahead in math when many children aren't really  prepared for (before the knives come out, even MoCo is reevaluating this approach. It is a mile wide and an inch deep)
5) Little emphasis on foreign language
6) Diversity

we live in a highly regarded MoCo cluster and i wish we could use it. For our child, the private has been a better approach for ES. We will continue to evaluate but for now this works best for my DC. Just because because a school is highly rated doesn't mean it fits what my child needs for his education[/quote]
