[quote=Anonymous]Our private school has families like you in k-2 who like clockwork start getting grumpy about “rigor” and apply out to other schools or go to test-in “gifted” schools in our area. And then inevitably they complain once their kid is at another school that it’s a bad social fit, their kid has no friends, the environment is too competitive, the other parents are too competitive, there aren’t enough specials or enrichment activities, etc. At an elite or top private school, you aren’t paying for maximizing your individual child’s academic accomplishments. You are paying for a well-rounded education and social experience with the intent of creating a confident, self-motivated future HS or college student who works well with others.[/quote]
