[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article is from 2014.

TJ (a fcps public) had the highest SAT scores in the nation.

Sidwell (a DC private) was #16.

Magnet schools are effectively publicly funded privates. Instead of paying for your child's exclusive program yourself, all of the taxpayers in your district are paying for it.[/quote]

True. But private kids can't compete with magnet kids. Not even close. [/quote]

Why is a private school thread being trolled by public school parents (and/or students). What's the fascination? I can't imagine private school parents are trolling the public school forums.[/quote]

I'm sorry. I didn't realize that your private school tuition entitled you to a forum with a "safe space" on DCUM where you didn't have to interact with public school parents. But I would assume they are here for the same reason I am-- because "Algebra I in 9th" popped up on Recent Topics, and there is a great deal of interest and debate among parents who care about STEM education (even *gasp* the unwashed public school masses) as to when children should begin learning abstract math.

As a parent is a rising 7th grade AAP student heading into Algebra next year and rising TJ freshman, I'm interested in what other parents think. But next time, I'll be sure to ask permission before "trolling" *your* board (PS, you don't sound entitled at all-- really).  :roll: [/quote]
