[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another person chiming in that you need to:
a) Find out more about public schools in general, ACPS in specific, and how demographics might be changing (see excellent PP.)
b) Rethink your beliefe that "trouble" children only exist in the public school, and you will be able to keep them out. If you are brand new private school, and you have a family with the money, but maybe some kids with discipline issues (which could come from a host of reasons) are you just going to "kick them out"? You lose their money. Private schools have their own challenges.

I do not believe the demographics are changing in ACPS and certainly not that fast.  The public housing that is being torn down is being replaced by other public housing buidlings ( higher rise). THe ACPS school system is a disaster and you are not going to convince me otherwise.

My kids may end up being a child with discipline issues.  I do not expect perfect angels.  I am talking about an approach as to how to handle this.  Most private schools have stricter rules and consequences on discipline than public schools.  THis is just a fact.  I am not coming up with a new concept here, just going along with the private school norm.[/quote]

Agree. I used to be in the "demographics are changing" camp too. But, not fast enough and it's not enough to overcome the systemic and cultural issues that are dragging ACPS down. We left. [/quote]
