[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two kids - zoned for Churchill.  Both in private for different reasons.  The smaller classes require them to be attentive and present, which makes such a difference in their ability to actually retain information.  MCPS high schools have gotten too big and way too easy to disappear into the noise.  I don't have a reference point to compare Churchill academics to my kids education, but their elementary & middle school learning has far exceeded MCPS.   [/quote]

No being sarcastic, I’m just wondering how that could be? I send my child to a top school in DC and it’s not much better academically and actually in some ways worse than what was being taught at mcps. I cannot understand what these schools are because as I already stated my child attends a top one but people on here say they are getting better education than mcps. I am so skeptical of that. In reality, I’m paying for the smaller class size and nicer facility. Nothing more. [/quote]

I was just going to type basically the same thing.  I think people here sometimes have a hard time admitting that private is just not worth it in many cases.  I'm not saying this as an outsider.  Both of our kids are enrolled in private school.[/quote]

It’s been hard to swallow that our private hasn’t been better than public. It has one of the highest rankings for boys school. It was surprising and we’ve been upset at how disappointing it turned out to be. Pretty upsetting when parents like ourselves trust and work hard in the process of choosing a school to be misled of what they tout. I can take it but it really sad for children. [/quote]
