[quote=Anonymous]- Our kids wanted an education where our religion was woven into it (I mean, we did too, but it mattered even more to me that the [i]kids[/i] were asking for it).
- Much calmer, more structured environment. My kids like calm and structure. They hated that a few kids acting out completely dominated the environment of our local public school with few consequences for the misbehavior.
- The quality of education in elementary is higher. Regular math track is close to our local public's advanced math track, language arts instruction is head and shoulders better, there's a ton more hands-on science, social studies has a better structure in most grades instead of bouncing from "standard" to "standard."
- Yes, we expect there will be some opportunities high school doesn't offer (higher level APs and post-AP classes), but the school offers us ways to work around that if we need to get creative.
- Like a PP above talking about the MCPS BOE, I was tired of politicians of all stripes who are completely incompetent using my kids' educations as a political football.
- Our private has a much saner calendar with far fewer random days off in the middle of the year.[/quote]
