[quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher in the county and years ago we used to encourage the kids to apply who couldn’t find their niche socially at the home school. It was kind of an “out” for kids who needed one. We didn’t recommend it to families whose kids were happy at the local school. I don’t feel the same way anymore because the overall quality of education has declined in MCPS, and the curriculum issues have been disastrous for many. That said, I still wouldn’t move a happy child. And I don’t think a long commute is worth it unless you’re unable to challenge your child in other ways or they’re acting out because they’re bored. My own child was accepted and we turned down a spot (granted this was years ago) because he loved his neighborhood friends and we prioritized that over academic challenge. But we signed him up for music and language lessons and robotics on the weekends. Much later he ended up in a selective program, but I have no doubt that we made the right choice for him at the time.
