[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think those in public are more willing to accept the weaknesses in their kids’ curriculua than those in private. [/quote] This. My kids are in FCPS, and I knew I would need to supplement to shore up the weaker areas of the FCPS curriculum. [b]Everyone I know in public school supplements outside of school, too. [/b] It isn't as big of a deal to pay for outside classes when school itself is free. If I were paying $30,000 per year for private school, I would assume that the school has everything covered and is strong in all areas. [/quote] This is what push me to choose private. I find the culture of outside supplementing not healthy. Kids already spent 6 hours a day in school. Why do I need to bring them to more school after school? I would rather them spending time on sports, music or other activities, but not to supplement school.[/quote]
