[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Applications for admissions to most private schools in the DMV area area keep getting more competitive every year. One school we are applying to for 9th ( from our K-8) told us that applications have been up 70% this year. 
I can understand why applications were up during the pandemic , but why are people still increasingly applying to privates five years later ?
Has the quality of education gone down at the public schools? Did people do well in the stock market over the past few years? 
Just asking a genuine question.

DCUM’s standard answer for a question about public schools is to find a way to do private instead. In a lower income forum, the stock answer is find a way to homeschool. People will do anything but try to reform something that benefits all of society and not just their own tribe.[/quote]

We were burnt out on trying to work within publics during COVID and beyond including advocating for our SN kids at the individual level and at the district/school board level. It's exhausting. We are in private now and everyone is doing well, including us. We did try for reforms to no avail. Just check your assumptions[/quote]
