[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated 20 years ago, and remember public middle (and most of high) school seeming overly simple, lots of wasted time just staring out the window, etc. This isn't an APS problem, an equity problem, a new problem at all -- it's public school. If you can afford a rigorous private, sure. If not, save up for a good college. Be thankful you have a smart and motivated daughter and that this is the biggest of our parenting problems. She can spend her extra time on stellar ECs and test prep. Your daughter will be fine.[/quote] Did you go to a highly ranked public like FCPS, MCPS, or APS? I was similarly poorly prepared for college and had lots of wasted public school time, but I was at a low scoring rural school district. I would think you get better since housing is orders of magnitude more expensive partly because of the schools. I hate to squander my DD youth on academic enrichment to fill the gaps school isn’t covering. [/quote]
