[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS focus is cramming 32+ students into a classroom. Students in W public schools are routinely placed into curriculums that are below or above their ability and skills. W schools are also neglected by Central Officials because MCPS resources are prioritized for public schools with high FARMS rates.

Private school students take entrance exams when they transfer from public to private. Private high schools also still give final exams so students have to demonstrate they are ready for the next level. The focus of private schools is to place students in the appropriate level classes.[/quote]

Please stop.  Seriously.  Private school is a self selected and then curated selection of students and families in small quantity. A place free of many of the state, federal requirements that a public school must adhere, not to mention from the burden of having three eyes of the entire public.  Most don’t serve many special needs.  And even with all that advantage, most are still on par or worst than public schools.

Stop acting like private schools are some great slice of heaven in comparison to public schools.  It’s a false comparison and not true, especially not for all private’s. Their focus is on exclusivity, name recognition, and appearing better than other private’s and public’s.   It’s one of the reasons why they continue to invest in ridiculous campuses.  And I say that as someone who graduated from a good one.

If you like your private great.  If you think it’s better than public for your kids, great.  But the original question has been asked and answered, Repeatedly.  Not all wealthy parents or people who can afford it would choose private. Some would some wouldn’t.[/quote]
