[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A poster on another thread said families who chose private are never going back to APS because now they've seen the difference.  I know that isn't true across the board (I know one family who put their child in private kindergarten and will have their child in public 1st grade this coming year).  Nevertheless, I am curious what differences parents who left APS have seen.  Please respond about differences between private school this year and normal APS school.  The pandemic is less than ideal for everyone involved (teachers and students).  In the past, private school teachers I've known have told me the biggest difference between teaching in public and private is the level of parent involvement with their kids and that this generally translates to kids who are more engaged in school, but that kids who do well in private would also have done well in public.  Obviously that is a generalization based on anecdotal experiences, but I've always thought that was interesting.  It is highly unlikely I'd ever be in a position to consider private school, but if there are gaps public can't or won't fill, I'd like to be aware so I can do my best to supplement if needed.

Interested as well. There’s a local private that some friends of ours are leaving and returning to APS. Not all privates are equal. What is it that makes some “better” than APS and others not? [/quote]
