[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So then where can one obtain a decent public education in the DC area? Or should families just pay for private school if they can do so?[/quote]

One can get a decent public education in many locations within the DC metro area if one is the right kind of student.  I'm confident my kids are getting a decent public education at the moment.  But are ALL kids in our school getting a decent public education?  I don't really know.  I know one family whose younger daughter attends our school who pulled their older daughter out and put her in private school because they didn't think the school was serving her needs well enough.  I've known others over the years who have switched to private as well and think that it better serves their particular kid's needs.  Private schools have different philosophies  - and you get to shop around and choose the one that you think will work best for your kid and your family.  To do that with public schools you have to be willing to move; and to some extent the range of options is limited.  But the fact that some kids may graduate without having done all the work or attended enough class doesn't necessarily mean that kids who do attend and do the work aren't getting a decent education.
