[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of my kids, and he keeps saying he should have switched to public for 11th & 12th. His friends from club sports who go to public do a fraction of the work he does, have straight As or A pluses (which our school doesn’t even give), lower SATs and are getting in to much better schools. I do think it matters who he’s competing vs at his school, and they can only take so mah from these smaller privates. [/quote]

What a terrible attitude of entitlement.  It is really self-centered that he thinks of his friends this way instead of celebrating their successes.

Please let them know so they can consider whether they still want to remain friends.

But the teaching is terrible in public. That’s our experience in dcps. The kids often have to teach themselves. The As in APs aren’t easy to come by. And there’s a ton of memorization involved. I hate that they don’t teach writing and research well at all, but it’s not the kids fault. In some schools, they’re no longer reading full books.
