[quote=Anonymous]My two kids (now in high school and college) have always tried to explain to me how oppressing their MCPS experience has been.

I only half-believe them, because they've both  relayed some amusing anecdote or interesting tidbit of information from some class or other. On some level, I think they do derive some enjoyment from some of their classes. More so for my daughter than for my son, because my son had learning disabilities and some classes were very challenging for him.

I agree with them that large public schools don't make life easy for students: there are lots of stairs to navigate in high school buildings, thousands of kids, it's always loud, so much sensory overload. For my introverted kids, it's a LOT.

In elementary, I think your kid might either be bored, or have issues that make classroom behavior or learning difficult. My teen daughter is gifted, and started feeling better in high school. She spent elementary and middle reading in class because it all went way too slowly.
