[quote=Anonymous]My kids have been to both, one was in public through 4 th, the other just through 1st.  The big motivator to move was that our. Highly ranked public (10 rated, three percent FARMS) in Baltimore County stopped having homogenous classes for math and language arts and moved to a heterogenous class room, which just doesn't work well with 25 to 30 kids in a class.  Parents had no say in the decision and no real recourse given that decisions are made on a county wide basis in Maryland.  The curriculum was tightly controlled by the county as well.

My kids have more recess and specials like a foreign language, science with a dedicated teacher who teaches only that subject for elementary schools, tech with dedicated maker space rooms,  gym much more frequently and real sports are taught, as opposed to the dodge ball and tag that was the norm in our public.  Teachers have full control over the curriculum, and there is no teaching towards a test.  The school day is longer.  The facilities are eons better.  Class sizes are half or less than we had in  public.  Athletics teams are required in middle and high school so there are opportunities for all kids to participate.[/quote]
