[quote=Anonymous]We switched from public way earlier than we wanted to, but we were very unhappy at our public. We sought out less behavioral problems, a calmer learning environment, stronger academics (the writing instruction at my child’s private is incredible), and foreign language instruction in elementary school. The cherry on top is that our school does a great job with STEM, and scaffolds sports and music for future years to create a really well-rounded student. Our kids get a lot of exposure to different things that simply aren’t available at our zoned public. Our private also does an incredible job of teaching executive functioning skills. MCPS is definitely not doing that. [/quote]
