[quote=Anonymous]We shot half a mil. (paid full freight) for kids to attend private schools in MD.  What a waste of money and what I would do now to get that back!  Yes, we had saved and had college trust funds set up but who knew that a recession would wipe us out . . . . .  the VA public schools saved us and turned out to be so much more professional than the MD privates.  More responsive.  Posted all homework assignments.  No more guesswork as to what the assignments were, when the test was, how well your kid was doing because grade stats were sent frequently by email.   Teachers actually responded immediately by email!  They cared!  They weren't arrogant!  They were better educated!  They liked teaching!  They had better credentials than the private teachers! Duh.  I could pick up a pencil tomorrow and get a job in a private school; I'm not qualified though to teach in a VA public school.  That says something.  Think about it.  Just because a school is private doesn't mean they are pulling in the best credentialed teachers.

And, no, I'm not a public or private school teacher so no snarking.[/quote]
