[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quit with blaming all the parents. This is the school founder, admin and founding HOS’s doing. Possibly board members but the governance and responsibility is not clear to me. It reads like a classic consumer protection fraud to me, further perpetrated by all of the above and a small parent group on the parents’ capital committee.

It would be like blaming Bernie Madoff victims vs. Madoff, associates and hangers on. It’s natural for the parents to seek a better option for their children. On that last note, I think only a few of the private schools in DC are better than the DMV publics. Maret is one of them, but many private schools here are not worth the check you’re writing. The publics at least have a standard and curriculum and a great shot at excellent colleges[/quote]

Then why are there so many private schools in the DMV Area, especially in DC and VA? I think there are a lot of great privates in the area. My kid is gifted in STEM, and at their most recent regional competition, almost all of the finalists and winners came from private schools. TJ was one of the public schools that was represented. Not all of the DMV publics are equally good. Yes, there are schools like TJ, but there are entrance requirements and standards. It’s not like any student will be able to enroll there. Not all publics in DC have a great shot at excellent colleges. Did you see the average AP scores for some of the public high schools? [/quote]
