[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You probably need to post on the public school thread too. [b] This thread is dominated by those who have chosen to have their kids attend private and thus the responses will tend to favor that [/b]- in ways many of the erudite posters won't directly recognize in their comments. Same problem on the other thread, but just recognize the hazard.[/quote] My child attends Saint Albans, but it is not because we are elitists, as you insinuate in bolded comment above. DS attended Beauvoir and now attends STA because he got in, his DCPS school has more kids failing to meet grade level in reading and math than meeting it, and at the time we applied our employers were a mile from our DC home. Work/life balance and a great education are our values. If we lived in another part of the country with great public schools , DS would be in public school. I would not even have looked at Private. We do not. There are hindreds of familes just like hours applying every year to Private school , hoping their kid gets in. None of us are elitists, PP. We're just parents who are "going for it" for the kids we love. There are many familes like ours at Saint Albans and Beauvoir.[/quote]
