[quote=Anonymous]We’ve been in APS for over a decade and also have experience in private.  Here’s what I will say.  The teachers in APS are as good as the private ones.  There are some duds.  There are some duds on the private side.  There is a huge difference in their ability to communicate with parents given the numbers.  But overall the teachers in APS are generally not the problem.  All of the ones we have had would’ve been able to answer the kinds of questions about social development and basic learning about of child at a parent teacher conference.  Well, besides one teacher who couldn’t string two sentences together.

So, you either got very unlucky and happen to have a bad teacher.  It happens.  It’s rare.  Usually though this can be gleaned from a cohort of parents—you shouldn’t be the only one in your boat.  If that’s the case, then it’s probably you.  There are definitely needy parents in APS and, if the can, they end up pulling their child for private  school which does a much better job at coddling needy parents.  I will say that it can make for a bit of a weird makeup of kids in the those classrooms but you do you. [/quote]
