[quote=Anonymous]I wasn't there when Sherman made the comment, but agree with other PPs that I think isn't a question of not recruiting potential private school families. I think what ACPS is trying to say is that it can provide a really great academic program, and that academically it can absolutely equal and/or exceed the academics at local privates. ACPS can also provide many non-academic amenities (clubs, sports) that are important in creating a good experience for any teenager. What ACPS can NOT do is "recreate" an exact copy of a private school experience. I think this is was is meant when Sherman or someone else from ACPS is communicating with a parent who really wants St. Stephens St. Agnes, but for free! What those people really want is not just good academics, or good sports/clubs, etc. they want a private school experience. ACPS can't recreate that, so it's wise for them to be upfront about that, while still promoting the positive experience they can offer students. [/quote]
