[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at private schools for our kids (currently in MCPS) and I thought to come to DCUM for some insight on the various schools we are visiting. I am amazed how angry and mean-spirited so many of the posters are. Can anyone recommend another site that offers analysis of private schools but without the vitriol?[/quote]I wouldn't consider Bethesda magazine to be the go to for academic education but they have an interesting (biased) take on what they consider the best. Some I agree with, some I don't. http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Bethesda-Magazine/Best-of-Bethesda-2013/[/quote] it is not their take. People vote for the best so any school can get their population to vote for that particular category. Not only is it extremely biased but it has no basis in any fact at all. Your best bet is to visit schools and talk with current students and parents at the school. That will give you the bestidea of what the population of families is like and what the school atmosphere is like. Pay attention on your tour to bullentin boards of current classs work, what the books are inside the classrooms and howthe students seem to interact with each other. Also observe how the teacher's interact with students, and how well their classroom seem to be organized. [/quote]
