[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my child could get into a TAG program then I'd do public. But he didn't get in so we're staying private.[/quote] That's us also. I have an older child who was TAG-identified. We considered pulling out of the private and going to the TAG magnet after she "passed" the TAG test and made it through the lottery. But the younger sibling is not a TAG student. So we do private. I think -- as someone who went through the PG schools many years ago -- that TAG is paramount. I was not a TAG student and was denied some educational opportunities. A test that I failed in first grade had repercussions for me all the way through high school. And frankly, the peer group for the TAG kids is better than for those in the "general population." It was then and seems even more so today. Teachers have told my friends that it was critical that they pass the TAG test in third grade to avoid being a non-TAG student in middle school. [/quote]
