[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is in the private school forum?…

My public school kid is completing Algebra II/Geometry in 7th grade.  (Normal at her school is 8th grade.)

Glad I’m not paying $50k a year to be several years behind where she is now.[/quote]

Glad I can easily afford to pay $50k per year for tuition. I also don’t need to post on a private school forum pretending that taking Algebra II/Geometry in 7th grade is a flex. My private school children will take Calculus BC in 12th grade.  They don’t need to take math electives their senior year (or load up on APs (because they’re not offered at our school)) to be competitive.  That’s what public school students have to do.

I hope that your children enjoy the education for the unwashed masses they’re receiving.

Education for the unwashed masses? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Public school is legitimately better at educating math. Unfortunately it’s worse at educating everything else. My kids had experience at both, so speaking from experience. We switched to a top provide, but need to supplement in math to keep the kids on track with public and, more importantly, education in other countries. I am grateful we can afford this option. My kids have not kissed public school for one day, but both recognize math was a bit more rigorous there. [/quote]
