[quote=Anonymous]We went from private to public. Biggest difference were the amount of homework and the expectation that parents would help in the homework - more and more parental involvement required in private; quiet lunches; daily spanish, social studies, science and art; no use of computers at school but expected them to be used for research at home. As far as individual attention, I guess there was more in private, but that didn't make a big impression on me. I found that extracurriculars and opportunities for activities was far greater in public. Field trips were better in public. And, nurturing was better in public - my daughter had difficulty with separation in the mornings and the private had no empathy for that while in public, they really nurtured her and helped her get comfortable in the mornings. Also, for special needs, public was far better. [/quote]
