[quote=Anonymous]I went through a k-8 school and transferred to a public high school back in the 90s. I wanted to switch in 6th grade. The girls weren’t very nice at my school and there were only 40 per grade. The change was great for me. Academically I felt “ahead” in writing but took honors and AP classes at my public which seemed comparable? We are outliers on this board because we only send one of f our kids to a private and it’s for a specific reason. A lot of the criticism of publics isn’t valid imo. Public school teachers are better at classroom management and I found - contrary to what every private says - better at differentiation. We found a great school for one of my kids with ADHD but the accommodations in his private elementary were laughable. If your DS wants to attend public I’d let him. I was SO much happier after switching. [/quote]
