[quote=Anonymous]Not in D.C., but we switched our kids from private to public to avoid many of the social issues with private schools. In private schools there are usually a limited number of friend groups and one or two mean kids can (and did) disrupt everyone in the grade. In public school they had a chance to really choose their own friends. Also, private school life was just such a bubble and there was much more emphasis on wealth. We really felt the need to let our children see the world as it really is and to learn to interact with everyone. (The public schools they attended were much more racially and economically diverse than the thise in Montgomery County and NOVA.) They both got into top tier universities and did as well, if not better, than their boarding school educated friends. [/quote]
