[quote=Anonymous]We switched to public ES, not the only ones to do this fyi. The advantages of a neighborhood school can't be overstated imho. Playdates, informal connections with other families in the area, all build a usable community. Yes, there was strong community at our private, but the distance required to make it useful was an ever present drain on our energies. The class size is bigger, but the teachers are paid more and, again imho, better qualified in many respects. Also, parents, and their views, matter less. The school listens to the parents, but really is weighing more whatever it is they see in the children.[/quote]
