[quote=Anonymous]I have one child in public and one in private (both elementary school). The two big differences are class size and the availability of specials. Smaller class size means more personal attention, especially to the social/emotional things. More specials means a richer curriculum, including much more art and music. Relatedly, more P.E. and recess, which means way more opportunities for movement. I haven't seen a difference in teacher quality -- there are good and bad teachers everywhere and teachers that are a good or less good match for a particular kid everywhere. That said, we have no plans to move our one kid out of public. Going to school with neighborhood friends and no commute is priceless to him and free tuition is priceless to us.[/quote]
