[quote=Anonymous]It’s the dissatisfaction with schools. It’s not quite as popular in the DMV because there are many options: very selective privates, excellent parochial schools, Montessori elementary, Waldorf, public magnet schools/AAP centers. Many, many areas do not have these options. They have the regular public school and maybe a Catholic private school that is mediocre. That’s it. Public elementary schools everywhere are bad. Curriculum is terrible, little direct instruction, Edtech and movies. The only difference between the “good” districts and the bad are how much parents supplement outside of school. But this isn’t feasible for all families or kids. Some kids are too tired after 4pm to be receptive to significant learning, or have extracurriculars, or the parents have other kids that have busy afternoon schedules. [/quote]
