[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not trying to be harsh here, but you sound kind of high maintenance.  You're probably not going to be happy with what DCPS or charter schools offer, so I recommend looking at private schools where you can really pick the attributes you want.

My kids are very bright, and I'm happy with our fairly normal DCPS.  [b]But I don't really care about montessori, reggio, project / play based learning, or language immersion.[/b][/quote]

You are a terrible person.[/quote]

I am not the previous poster but I get their point. Public schools in DC work best for more low maintenance parents / families / children. This doesn't mean disinterested or unengaged parents - but those who understand the pros and cons of public education in DC - and those who are comfortable with "rolling with it" and picking their battles. My spouse and I are professionals who live EOTP - we have two normal kids (no learning disabilities, not gifted, quite sociable) - we are happy with our IB EOTP and embrace its diversity and even its moments of slight chaos. Our kids have fun and are on track. If a parent feels very strongly about specific strategies and will need constant feedback from teachers and the school, public school may be a huge disappointment. (Language immersion is actually important to us but we live IB for a dual language school. But I do not have strong feelings about the other approaches).  [/quote]
