[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point? OK, picking ONLY from the current Recent Topics list (9/8/23):

- we never had a "chair thrower" during 13 years of private school in DC. There were two such boys in ouir private ES, and they were counseled out promptly. Like, before year's end. (Chair thrower in my kid's class thread)

- we never experienced a brawl with another high school in 4 years of private DC high school (BCC-WJ brawl thread) (fights at QO thread)

-- we never had to work with a teacher for "extra" challenge work in math over a 12 yr period (APS thread)

-- we never "wondered" about what our "MS and HS path" was, despite living in the District (CH parents, MS and beyond?)

-- Algebra classes were never taught by teachers who don't actually understand algebra (MCPS 'Algegra classes' thread)

- - - - -  And that's just today. Tomorrow's Recent Topics new threads will provide 10-20 more reasons why independent schools were the superior choice, K-12.

Kids are now both at T-15 colleges, unhooked. I seriously doubt SWW or Wilson would have been a better play.

Yes, this pretty much sums it up. I appreciate the extra writing and public speaking that's required as well.[/quote]
