[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any of you considered private schools for more rigorous education for your child? I often feel guilt that I'm wasting my kid's potential in mcps and I would certainly pay up if I could find a better option for her[/quote] Private schools are less rigorous than public in elementary. For example, our private k-8 used the Bridges math curriculum which is more than a year behind Eureka. Most privates don’t cohort for math and English until 6th grade at the minimum. At least we have contacted math in 4th grade in mcps[/quote] Private K-8 schools aren't "less rigorous" than publics. They usually emphasize a strong foundation in the basics of all subjects, and spend a lot more time on things neglected by MCPS - writing, science, history, foreign language, art, music and sports. You are honestly kind of comical when you think having your child race through a math curriculum makes them "advanced."[/quote]
