[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school (particularly before HS) isn’t about greater academics its about not having to do stuff:

- not having to compete for sports because every gets to play and in some cases has to play a sport a couple of seasons,
- not having to supplement or provide extracurriculars because everything is at school
- not having to encourage and motivate because the school will do all the hand holding 
- not having to land the helicopter because the environment is small and everyone is going to remain naive about the world much longer

Aside from writing in upper ES/MS there is going to be very little difference in what kids learn in private vs a good public school.

I’m sure someone will comment on breadth vs depth in the comparison between public and private, to which I always respond, one is not better than the other.  Particularly as kids don’t need to be experts on most things.[/quote]

Maybe about 5-10 years ago.  Not anymore.  MCPS grade inflation was already rampant before covid and now forget about it.[/quote]

And you think the same isn’t true for private LS, or no grades at all?  Most worthwhile progressives don’t give grades in LS.[/quote]
