[quote=Anonymous][quote]We're Ivy graduates who agree that writing instruction [b]is a weak point of APS MS & HS, and public schools in general in this country[/b]. Hence, we've supplemented for English from the get go, with tutors and summer programs. As far as we're concerned, private school just doesn't prepare a kid to cope in the real world the way a good public school does. We love how our children have made a stunningly diverse group of pals in APS, including refugee kids from the Middle East and Afghanistan who perform better on math assessments than our children do. Go in with your eyes open, supplement, but don't baby your children with pampered private school environments as a knee jerk reaction. APS middle school is pretty darn good. We bailed from DCPS after elementary school with no regrets. [/quote]

And you have experienced every APS MS and HS, as well as every public school in this country, first hand? Or is it that because you are Ivy League graduates, we are supposed to believe that you are better at knowing from afar what all these different schools are doing iwith regard to writing instruction than the rest of us?  :roll:

Please come down off your high horse and write only about those things you actually know.[/quote]
