[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many schools in lower Montgomery County that are no longer the gems they were. Your kids are only middle school / high school students once; when the public option only focuses on troubled / special needs kids, you can either roll the dice and move or pay for private. Pretty simple.[/quote] I feel like privates also somewhat cater to special needs kids, no? Or do they counsel them out under certain circumstances? [/quote] Some private schools do. Others, only accept the best and brightest and keep out the kids with disabilities or that are disruptive. That’s the school my kids are at[/quote] Possibly at ninth but any school that starts before ninth takes kids that are not the best and brightest. Hard to tell at 5 yrs old. Lifers don’t need to get in on merit so they don’t need to be the brightest. Other hooks get kids in in the upper grades who are not the best - see GDS US last year. [/quote]
