[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think YOU are thinking these things- not your kid. No kid is talking about T30 and weighted GPAs. If YOU want to make this change, say so.

I can’t speak to the benefit of switching, just here to say I think you’re putting words in your kid’s mouth.

Also- college counseling is non existent at MCPS, so even “weak” and “disorganized “ beats … nonexistent![/quote]

Good point on college counseling.

I was not putting words in kid's mouth. You should see what the seniors are talking about. School had to have a meeting with seniors to tell kids to stop "bullying" URM kids who got into HYP. Kids are more sophisticated than you think. Like I said, i do not want the kid to change. But feel free to believe what floats your boat[/quote]

PP you were replying to here and I believe you now. This sounds miserable for the kids- I’m sorry.

[b]I’m of two minds- is your son a freshman? And you say he wants to make a move? Then maybe going public for 10-12 grade would make sense. But if he’s happy there- and you have the dough to pay that tuition plus four more years of college- then I would stay. It’s not going to be demonstrably better at a public. [/b]

You didn’t say which way he leans in terms of interest. If he’s interested in science/math/CS/engineering? Then move right now. The classes available and the level of the other students is just so much better in public (this info from my friend who used to work at a private HS and who said she’d never send her son to private if he leaned in the science way…)

Good luck, OP. [/quote]

+1 I think this is good advice. If you do move to BCC, I assume you could spend some of the saved tuition on an outside college counselor.[/quote]
