[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I like about having moved to a top private all girls school is that I never have to worry violence or school shootings among other things.  And its nice and fancy with Macbook Pros provided to all students, a barista in the cafeteria, and almost guaranteed opportunities to play most sports.  That and an excellent academic experience make it worth every penny for us.[/quote]

If only all the privates had better academics compared to public. We have all the fancy things like you mentioned apart from the barista however, I would prefer a better education for the money we pay. [/quote]

That's the thing, a public education is what you make of it. One of my closest friends as a child went to one of the top 4 DC privates whereas I went to Whitman. I was an NMSF and near-perfect GPA with roughly 30 college credits from APs. In the end, we both attended the same tier 1 school. I also feel my kids are learning far more than I did from MCPS but I also take an active interest in their education.[/quote]
