So the reason I'm happy with our experiences in MCPS is because I'm too ignorant to know better. Thank you for enlightening me.[/quote]

Maybe not for you, but for some, yes. Some people are lucky and happy with their experience because they are in a better school and have gotten good teachers, or at least decent teachers. [b]But I dont believe this reflects the majority.[/b] Many feel like it is not good - but probably the majority feel like it is "just ok" or "fine" - I have heard these comments over and over. We have done both public here and in another state (we were outside Chicago), as well as private. There are major differences between school systems (and private) that are hard to just imagine or even see from a website or brochure - parents or kids need to experience to fully appreciate - that is all I was saying.
And a friend of mine who has a child at my child's MCPS public school says they won't even tour a private school because she "just doesn't want to know."[/quote]
And your proof of this is what? And not all private schools are created the same you do know that -- don't you?[/quote]

And what  is your proof that a majority of parents and students are happy with MCPS 2.0? - certainly not this board!!! I was pointing out that while many people seem to LOVE or HATE the system/curriculum, most opinions probably fall closer to the middle (with people thinking it is "ok")
And yes know there are differences! That was my whole point!!!!! That not all schools are created equal - not in the same system, same city, or among privates! And not even between teachers for the same grade in the same school! It has nothing to do with privates vs public. Many publics are generally better for many kids/families than privates. And vis versa. BUT a particular student/family needs to be able to experience the differences FIRSTHAND to appreciate the real differences and make an accurate assessment![/quote]
