[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We send our kids to private because we do not think MCPS can provide the type of educational experience we want for our children. They started in MCPS, but we left after elementary. [b]It’s a stretch for us[/b] but we believe it’s worth it—kids are being challenged, they are playing sports, there’s a school wide culture of service, there’s discipline, the calendar makes sense, communication is good, teachers are excellent, the school responds to parent issues, and socially DCs have made great friends. No regrets[/quote] LOL [/quote] I’m the PP you responded to with the LOL. Not sure what’s funny about me saying it’s a stretch for us to send kids to private but we are happy with the school so we make it work. We live in an old house with a tiny mortgage, drive old cars, and do not go on expensive trips. We have friends who have made the choice to send their kids to mcps and they spend big $ on their houses and trips and bar mitzvahs and camps and they are happy. People make different choices with how they spend their money based on their values/priorities/needs/personal experiences. [/quote]
