[quote=Anonymous]Our goal is educating our children. The college to which they matriculate is not an objective for us. We found that MCPS basically stopped educating our kids around 5th grade, so we made a rational decision and reallocated our funds to schools that did a much better job. We drive 15 year old cars and did not upgrade to a tear-down McMansion. We've survived. There is no question that they would have floundered in the MCPS system, compared to what they've received at their privates. All things being equal, if you drop shipped them to BCC now, fully-formed, they might have a slight edge getting into an Ivy or something, but that's truly not the point. They'll go to great schools and excel there.[/quote]
