[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Do you think that the teaching, critical teaching skills taught are equal or better than that in a private school? This really cuts to the heart of the matter for me. "

This is an unanswerable question, unless you assume that the typical private school is better than the typical public school. Which I don't.

I agree with you - unless you are talking about the likes of NCS, Sidwell, Holton Arms etc.  I have family and friends in these schools but dc has always been at public school (currently at a HGC).  there have been prior posts from people with direct experience at these better private schools and at HGCs and i got the impression that they preferred the academic experience at the HGCs.  The curriculum is fantastic and I would imagine that the ability level of the students is higher at the HGCs.  It is also likely to be more diverse.  There is such a range of private schools in the area and people send their children to these schools for lots of different reasons (religion, class size).  If you are making a decision on the basis of the academic experience, I think the HGCs and other magnet programs in MCPS would give even the big three a run for their money!  [/quote]
