[quote=Anonymous]Our experience in the Montgomery County Public Schools with three boys was what interested us in private schools. Once we took one boy out of the local public and sent him to a private high school, we were shocked by the difference and put the other two in privates at the first opportunity. We found the public schools to be mindlessly-bureaucratic. The teachers behaved like the civil servants they are ... with a heavy overlay of political correctness. Aggressive parents jockeying for position gamed the system relentlessly. The schools were rife with "Edu-Speak" and resource teams and all sorts of nonsense driven by top-heavy bureaucracies. Montgomery County schools has thousands of employees who are not classroom teachers. Private school for us was like a return to the world of the sane. Things were in perspective and were understandable.[/quote]
