[quote=Anonymous]Cross posting here and on private school forum: I have a toddler, so I am starting to look into private and public schools in my area (NoVa). I am uninformed about the differences and similarities between private and public school. I understand public school students are obligated to take standardized tests and the curriculum is outlined by the school district. Do students at private schools take the same standardized tests? And is the curriculum the same for all students in, say, 9th grade, whether you are in private or public? If so, what is the advantage to private school? Do teachers in private school have more leeway about how and what they teach? Is there less memorization and more emphasis on critical thinking? Or do some parents feel their parents are getting a better education because the student/teacher ratio is better? I would love feedback from public and private school parents. [/quote]
