[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because public has 30 kids/class, too much attention spent on standardized testing and lack of communications between teacher/parent. [/quote]

None of those three things describe the public-school educations of my two children in MCPS.[/quote]

You are full of shit.  As a parent of 4 kids that have all been in MCPS at one time or another, 100% of public education is based and created for standardized testing. No child left behind.   There is a strict, very strict curriculum that teachers must follow.  They are robots.  My youngest is currently in K with 26 students learning stuff she learned in her 3's preschool class.  Many of the kids don't even know how to speak basic english, let alone know how to sound letters, read basic words.  I made the stupid decision to wait until 2-3rd grade to move to private for my last (trying to save some money) and it was a bad decision.

My 8th grader has 11-13 kids in her classes. My 6th grader has 12-15 in his classes.  There is no MCPS class at any level that has that ratio.  And the teachers at private just love their job.  Public school teachers are miserable.  I don't blame them, I would be too.[/quote]
