[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t tell if this is a serious post or not.  You want to send your kid to public school but don’t like or approve of everything that happens in a public school?[/quote]

OP here. This is a serious post. We can’t homeschool and can’t afford most private schools. So this is what we have.

I realize my views are outside of the norm but also feel that being on screens, testing, being given homework, and being graded this young are all detrimental to the experience of childhood and unnecessary.

If any other parents hold similar views, how have you coped? I think you can opt out of homework? We would stay screen-free at home. [/quote]

We lived in DC and sent our kids to a charter Montessori. Which everyone else in this thread send to not understand is also public school. Then we moved to MCPS when they were older and sadly everything is on screens[/quote]

OP here. I truly wish there were public Montessori options. I think PG County also has a public Montessori. [/quote]

You are both professionals, with degrees for Ivy's or strong schools, as you brag.  Change jobs and find a way to pay for private.  How do you pay for child care now?  Or, homeschool.[/quote]

Where’s the brag? I literally said in the first post that we sacrificed our childhoods for academics.

Hearing mixed responses, it sounds like MCPS might be better than I feared in the early years and that looking into alternatives isn’t a bad idea. [/quote]

You aren't sacrificing your children's childhoods by having them engage in academics.  Thats bizzare to say that.  The earlier you start, the stronger foundation they get and the better off they are.[/quote]
