[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not the OP but I also am having a similar internal debate of whether to send my child to the public elementary in the Langley pyramid vs private school.
 I went to public school and then to top 10 private university, and I initially planned to send to public school.  But I am now debating which would be better for my smart but sensitive little boy.  Are privates less likely to have bullying since they are smaller class sizes?  Would he be able to advance in topics he enjoys, or do public school teach to the “mean”?  Is there anyone who switched from public to private (or vice versa) in this pyramid and if so, why?  Thank you for any insight can provide!  [/quote]

If you are interested in a smaller class size, then I would make sure to check each private/public school.  Schools like Potomac tend to have larger class sizes (20) and public schools are typically 22-28 students, so not a huge difference.  As far as bullying, private schools have the luxury of being able to easily expel a student for that type of behavior...unless their parents are big donors.  Then $$ often wins.  [/quote]
