[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lifelong HoCo resident here and very familiar with GCS. Never understood why people choose this school. It is literally just a smaller version of public. Same behavior concerns as public - drinking, drugs, and now vaping - bullying, etc. Teachers at GCS aren't any more caring than public school teachers maybe even less caring. Athletics arent any more competitive than public. Course offerings aren't any better. It's literally just a difference of class size which I understand is important to some. If you want a private school experience, pick a better one. Head to the Park School or McDonough, or Mount St. Joe or in the opposite direction try Good Counsel or Sandy Spring.[/quote]

Yep. Smaller class sizes. Other than that you're just trading one problem for another or shifting problems. Behavior is a good example. You're not getting less behavior problems at Glenelg in terms of the ratio per number of students. You're just getting a different set of behavior problems at GCS that don't even get addressed properly because of the wealth and power of the tuition paying parents. 
Sure, kids in upper school at GCS get conduct points but it's kind of a joke because it doesn't really act as a determent and there's no focus on developing character anyway.[/quote]
