[quote=Anonymous]I would concur with the "go private for k-8" team. You need a solid foundation. A smaller class size helps tremendously and teachers have the flexibility to engage in deeper-level instruction. By the time kids go off to high school, most of them can stand on their own 2 feet and focus on their studies. I went to 2 extremely mediocre Catholic schools from grades 2-9 and switched to public in high school. The biggest adjustment was social. But I had my head on straight and was a good student, so my parents knew I was fine. Many of my public school classmates were truly brilliant and have gone on to lead amazing lives. I think the trouble arises when you have a child who is neither brilliant nor requires special education services. There are resources for the top and bottom in public. It's the other "average" kids, for lack of a better term, who can get lost. [/quote]
