[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not PP but I agree that in general public school is great for kids at the VERY top as since there are so few of them, the public school has resources that the privates don't for these kids. For a motivated kid, they will have to work harder in the public to get the resources that they need but maybe the extra effort will pay off later in life. For a kid like my very average in some areas to super smart in others DD who is also not particularly motivated, private is a godsend. Every year though I say we will look at the public school and we don't. My younger DS may be a candidate for magnet. If so, it will be hard to say no. [/quote]

Really?!?!  I'm a PP who has had kids in private and at a "W" school in MoCo.  It is just wrong, and funny, to suggest that there are "so few" of the very top students at the top public schools.  Couldn't be farther from the truth.  Some of these kids are knock-your-socks-off smart.  Do you really think the doctors, lawyers, PhD's, lobbyists, journalists, etc. of Bethesda don't have equally smart, qualified kids in the public schools as the doctors, lawyers, etc. who send their kids to private?  If you believe that, you are drinking some kind of kool-aid.  Public or private, there are many very smart kids in this area. [/quote]
