[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] Can you relocate to a rural area, smaller city, or different part of the country? You will not find that sort of healthy environment in the DC area. Or just going farther out, you may find a healthier environment. There is a low-cost private that fits your description but it is near Baltimore. Starting in MS, it is screens all the time at MCPS.[/quote] Which is the low cost Baltimore private? [/quote]
