I'd say that people with your arrogance and willful stupidity are why the education system in the United States is in crisis.  You believe that with no specialized knowledge or education, you know everything there is to know about teaching.  Is spelling Browne with an "e" indicative of specialized knowledge?  If so, more power to you.

The fact that Lyles Crouch has 15-18 kids in them says nothing about the quality of instruction it offers, although it is obviously one of the better ACPS schools.  I merely stated that there is a huge difference between 21 kids and 15 kids in a classroom with reference to differentiation.  Teaching quality is dependent on more than class size.

You really do have a problem reading if you think that I'm pontificating from an ivory tower.  Yes, I have a Ph.D. in education, but I'm also the parent of three school-age children.  I did my research on Alexandria City schools and decided to leave.  Yes, we looked at Lyles-Crouch, and what it offered certainly didn't convince me to stay.

As for people commenting on ACDS, none have commented from experience, just perceptions.  I remain bemused that people like you make judgments about the quality of education based on how well a school can churn out PR propaganda and based on the facilities.  ACDS' PR is not as strong as SSSAS and Browne, nor are its facilities as large, but they do offer a higher quality of education.

Go ahead.  As an "informed parent," keep asserting that you know best how to assess educational quality.

Will you please just shut up! Not only are you irritating and condescending, but you don't have any skin in this game. The post was about alternatives to ACPS and you don't even live in Alexandria. A PhD doesn't make you any more knowledgable. Get over yourself! Please stop hijacking the thread. [/quote]
