[quote=Anonymous]No private school matches the magnet program.

MCPS teachers have more academic qualification than private school teachers.

The diversity of MCPS does not scare us because we are neither White nor Christian.

Quality of K-12 education is poor in the entire USA compared to the Asian country we immigrated from, so no K-12 school is worth our money.  We will have to supplement and enrich on our own and being in MCPS saves us the money to do so.

The chances of my kid getting into a top college from a private school drops even more than public school because we are not hooked.  Staying in MCPS and saving education dollars in K-12 years, will however allow our donut-hole kid to never have student debt, confidently play the ED card, have enough money left to have a leg-up after college. There are many ways to get ahead.

Any benefit in education or deportment that private school offers (grammer, handwriting, table manners) can be learned on YouTube. Anyways, US class distinction is based on wealth and not some genteel ways of the upper class. There is no value whatsoever that a private school gives for my kid.

A low cost structure at home (duh! my kid goes to public) allows me to be at home.  If MCPS is virtual and my kid has to study from home, it does not topple the apple cart at my home. There is no reason to crave private schools because they may be in person. At the end, the health of my children and my family is of the utmost importance. We also have a significant safe bubble with other families for the continued socialization of my children.
