[quote=Anonymous]If I didn’t have the inclination or the means to send my children to private school I might also look for ways to make myself feel better about the public school education my kids were receiving. My kids are both STEM oriented and we have been very pleased with the level of instruction and curriculum “rigor” at private school. If it wasn’t up to our standards, we would go elsewhere. Simply not having the same number of APs as our zoned public is not a negative and it’s silly to pretend that AP classes are the only valid measure of rigor. DC took AP BC Calc senior year and is a math major at a DCUM top school. They were not hindered by not taking math beyond BC Calc in the least and started college with a very solid foundation. Re—Tuition: it is a big hurdle for some private school parents and a drop in the bucket for others. If you don’t feel the day to day experience has value, you go elsewhere. [/quote]
