[quote=Anonymous]Why are we being so whimpy about this? If you think the public school is your area sucks, isn't good enough or isn't what you are looking for then so be it. Like why care how someone else feels about that? I think the schools in my area suck big time. Most people don't. I've also come to accept that we all have different standards of what sucking is. Too often people say "well they are better than DC schools" or "they are better than PG schools" as if what makes a school district good is only being better than DC or PG county.

I'm at the point when people ask me my opinion I say I'm happy to tell you but I'm warning you that you might not like what I have to say. I'm not going to sugar coat it and I'm not going to apologize for it either. I then give them very specific examples of kids I know who recently graduated with honors from the local public school and is attending the local state college and their entire first year is remedial courses because they werent prepared for college level work. I refuse to sit by idly and watch that happen to my kids.

If someone chooses to think my assessment of the public schools is a reflection of them that's their problem, not mine.[/quote]
