Cheer up OP, it could be worse.  We experienced exactly as you describe above in K-3 (so far), and we paid ~$30,000 a year for the privilege at a local private school!   Even with a (much) better teacher to student ratio, the teacher[u]S[/u], plural, still aim for that middle-of-the-pack for 85% of the day.  That's true in Ward 3 too, I am told.

10 minutes of "pull out reading" differentiation all by yourself and an extra math packet to do by yourself is not so customized.  And then, as I said, the other 85% of the day is mass produced.

Sorry, I don't have an answer.  Other than to say, the grass 'tis not greener over here, so don't go thinking you're missing something big by skipping the vaunted [i]Private Lower School[/i][/quote]
