[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we're in a position to make up for MCPS's deficiencies. MCPS fails all students, but those failures don't fall evenly. If you're an educated, UMC family you can fill in the gaps. Maybe you luck into the advanced options that still exist, and if you don't you supplement that at home. If you've got a gifted kid but you're not in a position to supplement or if you have a special needs kid that MCPS is really fighting giving services, you're probably out of luck, but that's not us. [/quote] +1 This. We do a lot of enrichment activities for our kid that we wouldn't be able to afford if we were shelling out $50k/year for a private (and we don't find any of the cheaper religious options to be attractive in our area). We've been in private school in the past, and find that due to the strong benefits/pension etc, MCPS teachers are very qualified, and in some cases were much more experienced than the private school teachers we encountered.
