[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We really wanted our "excellent" MCPS school to work. It was fine. We ended up moving to an independent school during the pandemic and WOW, what a difference. The curriculum, how engaged the kids/teachers are, how well the administration knows my kids and their needs. I am blown away with how much they are thinking and learning and as long as we can afford to give them this education, we will. It's to the tune of $100k+/yr, so if we thought the other option was excellent, we would have stayed public.[/quote]

Same experience in FCPS. I had my gripes, but generally was happy. Moved to private because of the pandemic mess and was shocked at the difference. Kid is thriving.

We're planning on public for HS but, even at our high performing local HS I am worried about the quality of writing instruction and excessive ed tech, as well as social issues like vaping in the bathrooms. We'll choose public anyway for cost and commute reasons (there are no good private HS near us) but I worry about what is missed. [/quote]
