[quote=Anonymous][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]
For students in 90+ percentile, I do think mcps’s lack of rigor results in them wasting maybe five hours a day. As much as I like the idea of public, it’s become to focused on helping the bottom performers in ES and MS, so I am for vouchers. There needs to he competition to remove complacency and unresponsiveness of CO.[/quote]

Yeah NO.  What public schools have to do versus private schools are light years different and I say that as someone who went to private schools.  This whole competition talking point has always been BS.  If it wasn’t then we’d let public school do what private schools do:
1) Fund schools at the same high rate as private schools
2) Not have near as much state testing or any at all
3)Cap the number of students enrolled in a school
4) Determine what services they can provide OR provide all the funding necessary to have all the services
etc etc.[/quote]

I think public tend to get more money per student actually

Gifted kids are probably neglected by both private and public. Public serves the bottom 10-20% better[/quote]
