[quote=Anonymous]Not the original poster but It's not as simple as just sending your kids to public school to make them better.  For example, my neighborhood school had 28 kids in kindergarten last year.  Am I wrong, for not wanting to enroll my child? In addition, my kid has small sensory and motor skill issues, not enough to be considered special needs or need an IEP so they need a little more one on one.  Their school now caps at 12 students.  Me as a child, I could thrive in any environment 12 kids or 25 kids! However, I know my child and they need a small learning environment. 28:1 ratio is horrible, the average will stay average, those who need a little more help, won't get it and the advance will get bored.

Anne Arundel cluster, I would go public. The Crofton/Gambrills area schools are fantastic and most have 17/18 cap on students. Big difference than PG.  Also, to put it in perspective, my 3rd grader had 31!!!! However, she could hang because she is that child that can self direct.  *just saying*[/quote]
