[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a child in kindergarten at Rosemary Hills who is happy and learning a lot, so thus far we are satisfied. Of course, there are many years to go, so who knows how we will feel down the line.

We can’t afford private, but despite our good experience thus far, I can see how some people would prefer private to MCPS. I think we lucked out and got a very good teacher. I know others who have not had such a good experience. Also, the school is HUGE, and though we only have 23 per K class at our school this year, typically it is 26. And the curriculum is extremely structured for early childhood—ideally I’d want it to be more experiential and play based.[/quote]

Agreed. The class sizes are one of my big concerns. We have a preschooler right now who is in a program that includes K, so we will be keeping her there and enrolling her in a strong, non-W cluster ES starting in 1st grade.

We are lucky enough to be able to afford private (though it would be a stretch), though for a lot of reasons we would really prefer to go public. We'll have to see, though. [b]I am disturbed by the posters who say their kids aren't learning spelling or grammar, for example. [/b]We'll cross that bridge if/when we get to it. [/quote]

FWIW my son is learning a TON of spelling and grammar.[/quote]

that's good to hear. Reading posts by people who say their kids aren't getting that freaked me out. I'm willing to supplement at home for certain things, but spelling and grammar seem pretty fundamental. [/quote]
