[quote=Anonymous]We struggle with the elitist attitude that can manifest itself in big city privates or idyllic facility campuses for teenagers. The loss of grit, ability to figure things out, entrepreneurialism, and personal drive. As for speaking, nothing that Debate Team anywhere or a good book club can't help with. That said, DW and I are very busy on many facets so send our kids to privates. Just the full transparency of knowing the curriculum, policies, ECs as well as the decent feedback on our children's academic and social progress is helpful for us versus the prospect of doing public schools. Finally, we were unhappy that inside the beltway your options are only a HUGE pubic MS/HS and a smaller 100-130 kid Upper School. Why no schools with 250/grade level? Can field more teams, go deep in interests and still know your classmates. Oh well. [/quote]
