[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our MCPS ES already has small class sizes; DCs' needs are being met in spades; principal and teachers are terrific; family community is great; extracurricular options and aftercare are easy to access; facility is pleasant, comfortable, and walking distance from our home.  Why would we go private?[/quote]

Because what lies ahead in MS is a trash heap?  ES is a different animal.  [/quote]

I hated being MS age myself and am dreading that life stage for my own DCs because of it.  I was a student at a private MS and was bullied so mercilessly that I bear permanent emotional liabilities.  The smaller size just meant there was no way to get away from the kids who teased me, and the fact that the community was intentional meant it was also homogeneous and insular, which made things worse.  What do privates do differently from MCPS (or any public school) to turn the tide of MS social hell?  I ask this in all seriousness, because you can probably imagine I'd do an awful lot to try to ensure my DCs don't experience what I did.[/quote]
