[quote=Anonymous]Yes it's worth it, but generally speaking it's not more play based, although I guess it depends on the school.

We've had kids in public and private elementary, and the difference was huge. In private, less busy work and more actual learning.

In music, the kids (not K, just the students in general) learn to read notes. In art, they learn drawing techniques and experiment with different mediums, while also learning about art history. In Spanish, they learn to understand what their teacher is saying and how to respond to her questions. In chapel they learn about different religions, ways people across the globe express kindness and love and forgiveness. In science, the go to the lab and do experiments. They have constant opportunities for public speaking and participating in school traditions.

The school is divided into groups and they befriend children across all grades. They are recognized for their hard work, and for being leaders and taking good care of others.

There is a spirit of cooperation and family at the private school that just doesn't exist at public school. That said, public school is free and that counts for a lot. It all comes down to $[/quote]
