OP here, circling back to this thread after I see it blew up a little--why do you say this? Is it the failures around DL?

I am hearing the exact same complaints about FCPS and APS. My older child was in a "Big 3" private for K/1st because at the time we were living in a very badly rated school district...and (to put it mildly) we weren't impressed, at all. Class content was behind his public school peers in North Arlington/FCPS. DL was a disaster last spring, and we couldn't fathom spending $45k for DL again this fall (they're not back in person, even for hybrid). We are looking forward to moving into a solid public school district for the Fall, what with the job change, etc. I tend to think a lot of public school families have a "grass is greener" attitude about privates, and, coming from the other side of the fence, it just wasn't our experience.

Honest question if this statement is just because of the way MCPS has handled DL, or if there are other issues at play? Personally, I don't know of any school or district that has handled DL well.[/quote]
Don't mind this PP. She/he is probably a private school parent or a wannabe from another jurisdiction. Since they cannot compete with MCPS, they take pleasures bashing MCPS on DCUM.[/quote]
No, most negative reviews are from MCPS parents, like me. Nice try, though.  And, why would private parents waste their time on this board?  Nonsense.[/quote]
The MCPS forum is full of private schools parents.  They dominate most of the anti-MCPS threads.
Try again.[/quote]
You're delusional. People in a better position don't go slumming.  Have another drink, honey.[/quote]
And you're here, slumming.[/quote]
My kids go to MCPS of course we are slumming. Just like you.[/quote]
So y'all think MCPS sucks. You care about your kids only enough to complain about MCPS though. You don't care about your kids enough to move somewhere with better schools. Got it.  :roll: [/quote]

Correction, we know.[/quote]
