[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people complaining about VA or MD public schools or saying that private schools are better are either ignoring or don't know the most important part of the private school education: teaching students that they're very important, more important than public schools kids, more important than most adults including their teachers.  Kids learn it.  Parents should know about it and decide if that's what they want. Or not. [/quote]

Covid proved how very little the public school community in the DMV actually cares about kids.  They do not.  Me, me, me - teacher demands, parents complaints, lack of leadership, lack of outreach to kids, lack of planning.  The publics were embarrassing shit shows.  Disgraceful.

So your jealousy aside (and bitterness). Covid laid bare how pathetic those who run the public school systems are.  Privates took care of their teachers and students.  [/quote]

Completely honestly – there are a lot of us on here who went to private, can afford private, and still choose public. Are you just going to tell us that we are naïve? We don’t know what we’re talking about? You’re all so much smarter? I really wonder. Because there are definitely people on the other side of this argument. Many people who went to private in this area choose public. It is the new money people that go for private. Especially if they went to public themselves.[/quote]
I would tell you it’s probably something else. You probably have easy, compliant or motivated children and public works for you. Maybe your  family values public education and you are willing to overlook some things you don’t like. Maybe you didn’t have a good experience at private and the grass is greener on the other side. Lots of different reasons and all are fine.
We have no money and went private this last year. I can 100% guarantee you my single income military family is not doing it to keep up with the joneses. [/quote]
