[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: My main question is why do people choose the private school Road when the Langley pyramid seems to be so well rang? Are there any apparent deficiencies in the Langley pyramid that push people to go private?[/quote]

I definitely have the answer. All the people I know of with kids in the Potomac Langley School are grossly over privileged, wealthy, obscenely high incomes, kids are micro managed and spoiled down to every activity, the parents all hang out with each other in this ridiculous over the top catered parties, the level of wealth, privilege and access is just insane. It’s just rich people cosplay 24/7. Of course that is why they opted for it! It’s not education. It’s certainly NOT diversity. It’s access to wealth and privilege and cementing your own wealth and privilege. And seeing the exact same people in your school, your social circle, your overpriced camps, and your vacations in Aruba, Atlantis, Vail and Italy!!! Constant privilege cosplay. It’s crazy.[/quote]

I can’t speak to Potomac. But this poster is totally off the mark with (little) Langley. The families there are very down to earth. A large number of dual income families. This person seems to be weirdly invested in people choosing a different path for their kids. “Rich people cosplay”? LOL OP, it sounds as if some private school mommies did you wrong. I think you need to seek therapy.[/quote]

I can speak for Potomac and this has not been our experience at all, either. Yes there is tons of money there, but there are also kids from every socio economic background you could imagine. It is incredibly diverse. Aside from the makeup, the education is fabulous. It is all at the school so zero need for tutors, outside centers, etc. They also educate the whole child and focus on core values and the kids really learn and live these. It's a wonderful environment.[/quote]

This is a perfect example of what you are paying for in private school. The education isn’t that different, but you are paying for the social emotional part as well. [/quote]
