[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]private pros:
recess every day (vs. once a week)
music and art part of the curriculum[/quote]

aren't these things true at public schools??[/quote]

They are true in MCPS.[/quote]

Not true in MCPS.  Rosemary Hills zoned family here.  PE once a week K-2.  And we were told this was county-wide.[/quote]

At MCPS, PE and all other specials are once a week and ranges from 25-40min depending on how overcrowded they are.   And they NEVER EVER EVER take them outside for PE.  That was a huge pet peeve of mine when my child went to public.  At private, some teachers take the kids outside for their classes if they day is nice.  My DD had a math teacher that took them out for Four Square Math problems.  She loved that.  PE is almost 100% outside at our private.  And lower school gets 2 recesses a day for 20-25min each.  They also have a garden they work on in science.  For my child moving around, fresh air, learning all work together.  Sitting in a chair with 30 other kids ALL day long in public, did not.  If it rained in public, they watched a show.  Mindless.  No movement, no creativity.  Sucked.  [/quote]
