[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any regrets for those who went public?[/quote]

Yes, I regret it. He was doing well until a couple of years ago. [b]The teachers seemed to have stopped teaching after covid and gone to mostly screen time lessons[/b]. They are barely starting to do better. If I had known I would have gone to private instead of thinking we'd go private for middle school. If I had started private he'd be attached to that school but now he doesn't want to leave his public friends and insists on the public middle. The bonus is he is very active, social and happy but academically mediocre.[/quote]

Yes! And the pre-designed lessons are depressingly basic, even for the so-called GT or advanced track. I think they are the same ones used from school to school across the district. Those of you who are saying the STEM is great at public, do you mean [b]right now[/b]? Or is this your child's experience from years ago? And what school or districts are these? [/quote]

My kid is at a IB HS in FCPS and the IB Chemistry HL class is really strong IMO--they have a lot of lab time, do complex work, they generate their own labs based on real research questions.  I'm a biochemist and I'm impressed with the quality.[/quote]

Which HS?[/quote]
