[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh, this doesn’t surprise me at all. We are moving our kid to private school next year, she did k-5 at a great public. If all we cared about were academics, she would stay public. But there was more than just academic stats that went into our decision. For all the rich educated people’s kids, differentiators are not going to be SAT scores or APs, they will be soft skills and peer group and teacher advocacy. [/quote] Kids in public schools don't learn soft skills or have a good peer group? As for teach advocacy, I'd say that is mostly about academics. Sometimes there can be too much hand-holding by a teacher which is not good for kids either. The only reason I would choose private is if my DC needed smaller class sizes.[/quote]
