[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we're staying in Montessori for K. if mcps can't give any clarity on this crap we're applying for catholic school in November. Ride out elementary school there. [/quote]

We’re staying in our preschool for K and will be applying for private for 1st if MCPS can’t get their act together by then.[/quote]

you do realize that only a subset of schools will pilot the curriculum even when it's chosen (so those of you opting to stay in private may not see any movement for a while anyway). oh well, less overcrowding for us MCPS parents.[/quote]

Skipping MCPS ES makes sense from a lot of angles.  Heck, skipping K-8 makes sense as well if you can swing private school tuitions. [/quote]

Sure, if you have 15-40K a year to spare, why not?  The rest of us will take that $120-320K we saved by sending them to MCPS and [b]use that to supplement our children's public education[/b] and set them up for college.[/quote]

Cool. We have enough money to do all of that, though, and still opt out of MCPS for K-8.[/quote]

What does that mean "supplement our children's public education"?

We both work full-time. Do I need to quit my job and half home-school my children? Or ride the teacher for more challenging work? Or shuttle the kids around to tutors, before/after school classes and regrade all their work.  
I don't get it. what is the extent or some examples of what supplementing is needed here?

No one is telling you that you "need" to do anything.  Some parents find that the learning outcomes for their children aren't what they hoped for and supplement with tutoring/or afterschool classes or saturday schools.  If you're satisfied, you don't need to do anything.[/quote]
