Now I live in FFX County and, originally, it didn't cross my mind that we would consider sending our kids to private school. I currently have a child in 9th, 7th, 5th in one of the sought after pyramids. It has been a huge disappointment, most especially elementary school. They don't teach grammar, they don't teach writing, they don't teach good basic study habits. Other than math instruction, I found elementary education entirely lacking. Middle school was MUCH better, but even there, why do the kids read two (not very challenging) books a year in English class?? Partly because the poor English teachers were playing catch up as they tried to teach advanced grammar to kids who don't know their parts of speech. If I had money to burn, I would absolutely send them all to the strongest private school that would accept them.

THIS!

My 6th grader (not FFX county) is home quarantined this week and we’ve given him a crash course in material I learned in 2nd grade.  School is not the same as it was 20/30 years ago.  If we had the money our kids would absolutely be in private school.  I’m hoping we can pull it off for high school and I’m sure they’ll be behind.[/quote]
