As a recent moco resident who moved from out of state and landed in Bethesda due to commute and the so-called amazing public schools - we are actually sending our daughter to private next year in 5th grade. My experience has been that the moco “great schools” reputation is a hold over from years passed. The elementary we were in is a mess, teachers have no control over the kids and experience was much lower level than the public schools we came from in CT. We made our decision on where to live largely on schools and regret that. Would have bought a cheaper house in a cheaper neighborhood and sent both of our kids to private from the beginning.[/quote]

Badly-behaved children in elementary schools in [i]Bethesda[/i]? Surely not! DCUM regularly assures me that only in Bethesda schools can one's children have a peer group of high-achieving, hard-working, well-behaving students. In Ganglandia they're all gang members, obviously, and nobody lives in the Siberian Hinterlands.[/quote]

I’m not sure I understand your response...but I do expect kids not to be running wild in the elementary school cafeterias (literally running in circles around the cafeteria yelling both times I volunteered for cafeteria duty) and kids not being overly disruptive in classes to the extent it affects the kids trying to focus. I went to public school (and not in a wealthy CT town) and my children did until this coming year as well. I have never seen anything like what we have experienced in our public school here in MD the last two years. I am surprised the schools are so highly regarded but like I said, I think it’s a reputation hold over from years ago or maybe only stems from the high schools.[/quote]

Read this site often enough and you’ll understand why Bethesda kids are running amok in ES. [/quote]

Can I hear an amen?![/quote]
