Are you at a $40k+ LS/MS that doesn’t offer much beyond public?

I really wish this pointless weekly thread required every poster to state the name of the schools they’re discussing first hand. It’s otherwise useless.

If one does so, there are those who regularly “monitor” the private school threads ready to attack in order to suppress/bully anyone bringing to light any ounce of negative issues within that school.

Do you believe subjective anonymous posts? If you are interested in a school, you really need to go visit it and form your own opinion.

Not counting St. Anselms Mom (and it's dubious whether any suppression or bullying has happened), what in the hell are you talking about? I can't think of any private school that hasn't had a turn being subjected to unfettered criticism on DCUM.

Perfect example right here of one who stalks posters.

Well, that didn’t take long. You inadvertently proved the PP’s point.

There are only so many hours in a day. If you want more art music and play, then that time has to come from somewhere.

In public school my kids spent a LOT of time waiting for teacher to help the rest of the class. Did homework. Read a novel a day. Doodled. Fine to give that up so the core 6 hrs are doing SOMETHING, and homework is for home.

And you think that doesn’t happen in private? The teacher should be helping the kids in class.

+1. A lot of people in my neighborhood like to brag about how they’re sending their kids “private” but they end up being $15-20k crappy parochial or Christian schools. Um, no one is envious of that
