[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is abundantly clear to me that 11:43 is comparing the very best MoCo magnet schools to middle-of-the-pack private schools -- if 11:43 has indeed really had a child in a private school past Kindergarten at all.  (11:43's assessment of, say, takoma park magnet does sound about right)

Those of us with an older tween or teen in Holton, gds or Sidwell don't think that the language and science and math piece "levels out" and becomes par with, say, Westland MS or BCC, as 11:43 suggests.   [/quote]

Oh for Pete's sake. I'm 11:43 and I did indeed have kids, two of them, in private schools and they stayed there way, way beyond kindergarten. And this was much more than a "middle-of-the-pack" private school - it's a very well-regarded around independent school in this area. However, sorry, but I'm not going to out my kids by naming their school just to satisfy an unhappy curmudgeon like you.

You're wrong about the science in public high schools. You seem unfamiliar with the magnet choices in MoCo in MS and HS. However, only one of my kids went through a math/science magnet so I can speak with authority about the science offerings in regular MoCo publics.

You seem to be exactly the type of private school parent to whom OP is referring! You know, the kind of parent who denigrates other parents' choices and even their experiences.[/quote]

11:43 I thought your post was spot on. There is only one school in this area, TJ that really matches the ex missions of the top privates. That's what the facts support.[/quote]
