[quote=Anonymous]MCPS schools are really good. There are plenty of anxious students who are supported and learn well in public schools. Fwiw, I think your money might be better spent treating the anxiety rather than trying to curate a school environment for all of your children for $$$$ over the next 12-17 years.

My kids are in middle school and we haven’t found any class time is spent “teaching to the test” although in certain grades they do spend a good part of one week per year doing useless standardized testing mandated by the state of MD. This is not in K or any time soon. It’s not like you’ll get more instructional time at private, though. You folks have more days off and longer school breaks. It evens out.

We could send our kids to private if we wanted. I haven’t found a school that really fits what I would want, which is challenging, engaging, joyful and low-medium pressure. I’ve found that in public. In this area, the top schools are pressure cookers and the lower key schools don’t offer the rigor and depth I’d prefer, particularly in math. [/quote]
