[quote=Anonymous]We started our kids in MCPS with every intention of going all the way through in public. We switched to private for middle and high school, and it was worth the money. Not because of connections (if you attend public school in an affluent area, you'll have plenty of connections) and not because of any edge in college admissions (way overblown), but because all 3 kids benefited enormously as students. They learned to write well, think deeply and creatively, and ask incisive questions. The older two kids were well-prepared for challenging majors at highly selective colleges, and we have every reason to expect that the same will be true of our youngest who just graduated from high school.
