[quote=Anonymous]We are in fairfax and had planned to go public through at least 3rd grade. After touring our home school, another public then a couple privates we decided we strongly preferred private starting at K (although not the tuition!) While we thought the publics look really good and were impressed by the principals and teachers, we were blown away by the difference between public and private. For us, the biggest differences were class size, ability to differentiate/accelerate and lack of SOL testing. We were also concerned out dc would be bored in public school where presumably there would be a higher ratio of kids who haven't had any prior schooling.[/quote]
