[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went thought DCPS growing up and would never in a million years subject my kids to that.  It was an awful education all the way through.  [/quote]

I think it depends on the child and whether you live in an area with good inboundary schools.  If your child is self motivating, fairly smart and does not need a lot of support or any accomodations, public school can work for them and they will be fine.  I was that way.  I was not an exceptional student but I did not require a lot of assistance with work and I knew my strengths.  My DS is different.  He has some special needs, not severe, and he has spent enough time in DCPS for me to know that the public school system cannot adequately serve him and help him develop the tools he needs to be successful in life.  He just started middle school is now in private school.  I would like to be able to switch him back to public school in HS but in reality I know that is probably unlikely if I want to make sure he is prepared to get into a decent college.  The only way we would go back to public is if for some reason we no longer had the funds to afford private school.[/quote]
