[quote=Anonymous]I currently have one child in private and a younger child in MCPS. Almost all of the resources and staffing in MCPS go to the lowest performing students. Public schools in the DMV have to be run like prisons and factories due to their size and limited resources. The public school kids are really mean to each other and staff. My kid in private school has never been told she’s going to hell based on her religious beliefs, for example. As someone mentioned earlier, staffing in public schools is another huge challenge. Last year my public kid had a steam or short term subs while the homeroom teacher was suspended multiple times. The teacher was relocated to a different school within MCPS for this year. A private school would have fired the teacher after the first incident.

Our private schools is much more diverse than our public school. Our public school is over 70% Hispanic, 10% white, less than 10% Black and less than 5% of every other demographic. Our private is 40% students of color. [/quote]
