[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am choosing private because I went to an elite college, and the students from good privates did much better and had an easier time at college than me, largely because of my lackluster secondary education.

If I felt public was preparing them adequately, I would have no problem with it, but they spend so much of their time doing remedial work and sitting in the classroom board and idle waiting for other kids to finish.  And this was before the pandemic.[/quote]

I went to a "W" public school and then to an elite college. For me, the workload at college was a step _down_ from what I was used to. A couple of my classmates who went to privates (not in the DC area) failed out because they couldn't handle the work. Depends widely on the high school of course.

We moved to private this last year initially so our kids could have in-person schooling, but we decided to stay because of the smaller class sizes, personal attention, and the MCPS management mess at the top levels (teachers are great though).[/quote]
