This sounds like self-segregation at its finest. Better schools (private, and my kids are in public) are serving their kids healthy food while you snicker. We were at a nice private school over the weekend for an event, and I was shocked that there was no air freshener smell. I asked my kids if they noticed it, and one said, "Yeah, it smells real in here." My kids come home from MCPS public schools reeking of it.

I'd much rather my kids be in a healthy environment eating healthy food, but to each his own. Too bad we aren't wealthy enough for private.[/quote]
Um. Yea.  Let OP know what school you go to.  Classic example of probably what OP is trying to avoid.

FWIW, my kids don't reek of air freshener when they come home from two different schools.  They do reek of sweat and stinky feet, though.  I can see why the teachers want air freshers is the classrooms, though I've never seen or smelled an air freshener in the classrooms.[/quote]

What schools do your DC go to? I'll transfer mine there. We have been involved with 7 MCPS schools over the years and they all reek of air freshener. I think "down to earth" means teachers who are mature enough to smell sweaty kids after recess without reaching for the Fabreez. Grow up.[/quote]
You're complaining about kids smelling like air freshener and that this is one of the reasons you want to send your kids to private, and you're telling me to grow up?  Have you spent 4 hrs/day in a classroom of 28 kids who stink?  I'm not saying I want my kids to smell like air freshener, but I can certainly understand if the teacher has a hard time with the smell.  It's certainly not something I would point out as a reason to hate public school.[/quote]

If i had the money to send my kids to private, that is one of the MANY benefits of sending them there that I fantasize about. Air freshener stinks (and it's unhealthy and unnecessary; no, 28 kids in a room don't "stink" IMO) plus the food in the cafeteria is junk. Wish they were in a better place.[/quote]
