[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to public in Howard County, in a good cluster.  My child is in private here in Montgomery County.  There are a couple of major reasons for that.  He is the type of student who would daydream all day if he were in a larger class and the teacher couldn't stay on him to keep him engaged.  And the second reason is I think the overwhelming size of the MoCo school system creates some real deficits (curriculum, testing issues, funding priorities).    Either of these issues alone wouldn't have been enough for me to pick private school.  I could help him navigate through one or the other just fine.  But the two together are just not worth the hassle to me.[/quote]

Same situation for us...I do expect that some of these deficits that are critical to development will diminish in later years, and I hope to return my child to public by middle school.  Perhaps even as early as 4th grade.  The differences in how they learn and the curriculum limitations in MCPS really do seem to lessen in later years (at least for us, with the cluster where we live).[/quote]
