[quote=Anonymous]My experience with Kids in two private schools also was very different. Some of the youngest teachers were not great as is tru in public’s too. But some teachers had other careers in business, consulting, etc and decided they really wanted to teach and found privates give them more flexibility to engage with the whole child rather than just grades. The other day my son’s former Latin teacher sent him a sweet email because he read about a career success he had. That same teacher came to wrestling matches to cheer on his students who usually were not the best wrestlers. Both my kids have lasting mentorship relationships with multiple former private school teachers. I am coming around to thinking an undergraduate degree in education is not as good preparation as life experience and maybe a few grad courses or seminars in teaching. [/quote]
