[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I work in MCPS and they started in public. I moved them just in time. I've been privy to so much dysfunction and meanwhile, they're getting a solid education. What irritates me though is that their private isn't substantially different than the highly rated publics I attended growing up. They were town schools, not county schools, and the town was fairly homogenous, so they had fewer challenges. But they functioned well because it was harder to pass the buck or justify 10,000 layers of bureaucracy, or move people around and pass the trash, or basically reinvent the wheel every five minutes. I do wish I had raised them somewhere I could feel good about using public schools. But given that I didn't, I'm grateful I could afford to shift gears. I feel sorry for students who have gotten the worst of mcps in a lot of ways. The past several years have seen a real decline.[/quote]
