[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve raised my kid right and he’s appropriately independent and respectful to teachers & other kids, so public is fine for him. If you need someone else to raise your kids, private might be the way to go. [/quote]

My kid is the same.  However, there are SO many disruptive and disrespectful kids in some of her classes that it has definitely affected her learning.

I don’t need someone else to raise my kid, but I would like MCPS to provide her with a solid education so that she will be ready for college.  Her English teacher has SO many students, that she rarely is able to provide meaningful feedback on my DD’s writing.  How will my DD become a better writer without solid writing instruction?

You hire a writing tutor and a math tutor, which is much cheaper than private school. [/quote]

My child’s school had a school shooting last year. Which is a symptom of a larger issue in the school. No amount of tutoring helps with a toxic environment. [/quote]

That’s a symptom of a larger issue in society.[/quote]

It should be mentioned that neither kid was “homegrown” at Magruder.  One moved from PG.  The other moved from Kennedy.   Troubled kids and family tend to move around a lot for various reasons.  Magruder just got stuck with the hot potato both times.   There was very little chance for the school to intervene.[/quote]
