OP, stay in public if for no other reason than to avoid assholes like PP and their offspring.

Ah-- did your vaunted public not teach you how to debate without using curse words? Low class.

Sometimes curse words are appropriate.

No- lo class..sign of a poor vocabulary

…says the failson who can’t spell “low” correctly.

They must not teach about irony at the publics.

Has nothing to do with publics. If you prefer private, good. If one prefers public, good.
There are low class at both. Not all privates are better than public and no all publics are better than private.

Or the teacher will tell the kids that generally the class did not do well or how scores broke down and my kid is usually way higher - most of the kids get Cs, one or two As (usually my kid) and a couple of Ds. And this is consistently. I wish it wasn’t this way because I would just leave him there until graduation but it is hard to justify when no one seems to care.

Our child reported something similar from our school, but we nicely inquired further and DD’s sense of her class’s performance was not accurate. She is a pretty reliable narrator generally and wasn’t making things up, but the filter through which she was reporting things just didn’t measure up to the correct full picture. So you might want to pose the issue to school and get a reality check. Even reliable kids” sense of these kind of things can be wildly off without them making things up.

This is OP. Thank you. I thought this initially too but the class is small enough that they all know each other’s grades and show one another their papers/scores. Ordinarily, grade/performance wise my kid is probably a strong 8 on a scale of 1-10 when he was in public. Here he is easily a 10 and I don’t think he should be honestly.

Some of the kids were filling their time with meanness and bullying, in addition to being totally unmotivated to work (despite all the marketing from the school about its approach to learning). The school is so worried about its branding and reputation that they don't want to run right at the hard stuff. Super sad.

New poster - what school is this?

Your illiteracy is not irony. Good thing your parents had money.

Any hint on what school the average private is?

Best question yet! My guess is that it isn't really "private" but rather some third-tier religious school operating out of a church basement or the likes.

You’d be surprised.
