[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Wrong. Plenty, and I mean plenty, of ACPS parents pulled their DCs from private schools because the social and academic environments at most ACPS schools are simply better than what is available at most privates in this region. In fact, several ACPS elementaries are well known to take in multiple ex-privates every year. It's not just about money, and it's not limited to one or two privates losing kids to publics. It happens every year. [/quote] It is often about money, and often about kids being counseled out of privates. And, sometimes it is a family deciding that a child needs a different environment. But the notion that parents who have decided on private school, can afford private school, and have children thriving at such schools will decide that ACPS is superior and pull their kids out of their privates and away from their friends so they can go to so-so public schools like GW and TC does not pass the smell test. Sorry. Come up with something a bit more credible and honest next time.[/quote]
