[quote=Anonymous]My kid is in PLTW Engineering at Wheaton. He was waitlisted for magnet and is in the academy. He likes it. We have another at a different DCC high school. His STEM has not been as good. I went to a rigorous private and I think the biggest delta is in writing instruction and small class discussion skills. I think if it were up to me, and my kid was a STEM kid and paying for four years of private was not an option, I’d send kid to Wheaton or another STEM oriented program and then to summer programs to learn to write. Exeter etc have summer programs. The poor writing instruction at most public schools including MCPS drives me crazy. But I think there are options for learning STEM well if kid gets into the right program. I don’t know anything about Sherwood. But I don’t think there are any great privates out near there, are there? Commuting a ton when you are at a rigorous private school sucks[/quote]
