[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here...I am also trying to find out about the school culture.  Did you get to meet other parents?  Get to know the parents in your DC's grade?  Have an organized feeling from the teacher?  Get information about what is going on in the classroom?

We are coming from years of private school experiences ($ doesn't buy you a way out of the current state of education in this area when you don't want to be at the $40K and above pricetag) but youngest child doesn't have a great crop of students at her current private school.   She needs a wider pool of kiddos.  And our neighborhood APS school is the absolute pits.

Thanks for any insights![/quote]

Private doesn't work for you. Your neighborhood public school doesn't work for you. Perhaps you should try homeschooling for a better crop of peers.[/quote]

OP here. Homeschooling has gotten us some of the weirdest crop of students.  Parents who don’t watch their kids at all at group events and let them run wild.  Rude and nasty behavior of the kids with no one who keeps them inline.  We were able to disengage to a point and try to concentrate on academics in a part time program.  Youngest kid has just awful kids in her hybrid cohort that we need to pull her out. Back to the drawing board. Preschool had such nice sweet and normal kids.  great and friendly kids. Why is that so hard to find going forward?

They’re probably at the neighborhood public schools. Is yours really that bad?

Also, have you been offered a spot at MPSA? If not that’s probably not going to be an option anyway. [/quote]
