[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It always amazes me that parents even think twice about sending your own kids to private school. I was born in PG county and chose to buy a home here before I had kids.  Now I have two and they both are in private school.  If you live in PG County and you care about your kids then you send them to private school.  I went to private school, some of my friends and family chose public as the best option, I can guarantee you that the private school kids had better opportunities than my friends and family in public school.

I don't even know how this is such a hotly contested debate.  Public school is NEVER better than private.  The government is bad at so many things why would they all of a sudden be awesome at teaching your kids?  If you care about your children and you live in PG you have to go private.

What is worth more than your child's education and welfare?  A family vacation, a new car, etc.  the answer should be NOTHING is worth more.  Your child should be your #1 investment.  stop trying to justify that public education in PG is "as good" as private or that private elementary school is a waste of money, none of these excuses matter when discussing your child.

Each situation is different,  my cousin fiance went to NCS in DC. She works for the local news as a assistant producer. While I'm sure she loves her job, I can't imagine spending that much money on a education for my child to be in her late 30's and only have that job to show for it. Your telling me that she couldn't have just went to a local school in PG and ended up in the same position? There are plenty of quality schools in PG, especially the TAG & Science & Tech programs. Yes a great private school can prepare you for the world...but not all are created equal.[/quote]
