[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.  [/quote]because there should be more to the educational experience than academics.  Economic diversity, for example.  There are also additional priorities people have around time spent in the car and at what point is it too much?  So far, for elementary, I am happy with our PG public. We will see how things shake out later.[/quote]
