[quote=Anonymous]Tulane and BU are pretty much safeties for any kid with respectable SATs (say above 2000) and a good GPA at a public school like Blair - this is what I've seen from DC's class this year. But I'm with you on seeing value in a private school education besides just college placement. I wouldn't agree that prep for college-level work is always worse at public schools, especially if BCC is the home school (in other words, 19:05 is clueless). But the overall environment in your kid's school, his friends, or more individualized attention may make it worth keeping him where he is. Is he likely to fall through the cracks at a public school? Do you feel better if teachers keep a closer eye on him? Will he resent being pulled out and think your DH is trying to punish him? (And I'm serious about that last one, if that's what DS thinks is going on, it could be pretty scarring.) Then keep him in private.[/quote]
