[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adding another element-- with the schools that you have named-- do any of these schools seem to be hands on -- more progressive. As I preview- I am trying to avoid schools that have heavy testing/ worksheet vibe. For early childhood I would rather have more play based and experiential. Your thoughts?

North Chevy Chase ES
Burning Tree

Kensington 
Kensington Parkwood
Rock Creek Forest
Rock View ES

Silver Spring 
Flora Singer Elementary

Silver Spring:
Woodlin Elementary School 
Highland View Elementary School 
Forest Knolls Elementary School [/quote]

Is this a joke? Yes, some of these schools will have a different "vibe", but, none of them are play-based or experiential. They are all MCPS public schools.[/quote]

Keep your kids in preschool or pay for private if you want that.[/quote]

I don't know much about MC Schools, but I find it hard to believe that all schools have the exact same culture.  I understand curricular demands -- but are you saying there are no Reggio or Montessori inspired schools? [/quote]

You don’t sound like public school will work for you.

No public school is Reggio or Montessori inspired. All mcps schools have the same curriculum and testing (aside from immersion and hgcs).

The only difference: people. The one-pagers for each school have demographic info that includes socioeconomics.[/quote]
