[quote=Anonymous][[quote]Anonymous [b]Of course the kids that switch from private to public are typically not the kids flourishing in private. [/b]So that's not really a reliable indicator of whether one type of school is ahead of or behind another. And that's before we get to "the "which private?" and "which public?" question. Many (probably most) local privates have a big influx of kids from outside (public, parochial, other private schools) in HS, so 9th grade is a year that will often be structured to get everyone on the same page and tuned into expectations and standards. Basically, if your kid is used to reading and discussing complex material and is a decent writer, s/he should be good to go. Beyond that, it's a question of placement (e.g. what level of math, science, foreign language) and some schools are more flexible than others on that score. [/quote] Absolutely, completely, unequivocally, untrue. [/quote]
