[quote=Anonymous]Please forgive the platitudes, but in our view:

No school is perfect.  Each will have strengths and weaknesses.  These vary from school to school.  Separately, different kids have different aptitudes and different interests.  Most schools spend any extra resources bringing up the bottom students, subject by subject, so the more advanced students often are bored.  (I am not a genius but was bored throughout lower elementary school.). Most USA elementary schools are not really great at teaching math.

We found a school where DC fits in, is learning a lot, and is happy.  Overall, it is a good fit.  We also supplement with math, because DC’s school is hit or miss on that.  Our DC is an advanced reader and likes to read, so we want to support that.  Many folks supplement with music lessons or sports outside of school or with museum trips or in other ways.

I think it is unrealistic to think that any school will be 100% sufficient for all of its students. I wish reality were different.
