[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem to be confusing "lots of outside work" with "challenging".

FWIW, we found private school way too easy with 0 differentiation.  Transferred back to fcps for 8th grade and it was much more challenging.[/quote]

Didn't you already post this twice already?

Rigor is usually challenging and more practice. They usually go together. FCPS has neither.[/quote]

No, I am a new poster.

Seriously, complain all you want about fcps lacking "rigor" but the grass isn't always greener.  Private school was so small there weren't multiple levels of classes, everyone took the same "7th grade science".  It was a very sweet, nurturing community but challenging for a bright kid it was not.  We went to private to escape covid virtual learning, so did public for most of elementary, and did 6th/7th in private.  It was nice to switch back.  I think private in person was better than virtual FCPS for sure, but in person FCPS is more rigorous by far.

Private is great for a middle of the road kid who will get lost in public.  Our school flat out admitted they weren't prepared or interested in differentiating up or down.[/quote]
