[quote=Anonymous]One in DCPS for elementary, the other in private for MS. Older one went through DCPS through sixth grade, and we were seriously underwhelmed with MS. Kid did "fine", but was not thriving. It was difficult to get any contact with the teachers and when we had an issue and managed (after three weeks) to talk to one teacher, she literally said "I have 120 students, I don't know your kid...".

Private school has turned out to be much more academically rigorous, about equally diverse, except the kids all mix, as opposed to PS where the kids self-segregated... the biggest surprise and the thing that has us thinking about private for the second is that socially it's much better—there was constant cheating and a lot of "who cares?" attitude in the PS... and no one EVER got in trouble for anything. We're very progressive people, but it's shocking how far DCPS has gone—in the name of fairness and decency—from any kind of sense of right/wrong, or importance of community, inclusion, etc. [/quote]
