[quote=Anonymous]My DS is very happy in 1st grade in public school -- he had excellent, skilled teachers in K and now in 1st, class sizes at our school are in the low 20s. He loves (as do I) that he goes to school in the community, where we can walk to and from school and all of his friends are minutes away. But I worry that his education is lacking. So much of the day is about the basics of reading and writing -- there is little to no science, social studies is uninspired, interesting projects are non-existent. He's not a strong reader (probably right at grade level) and is still learning how to write, but he's a very strong math student and is really bored -- the school offers an enrichment group twice a week, but that's only twice, and even that isn't very interesting. Is the curriculum at area privates sufficiently more interesting that you would give up all the advantages of being in the local community and go to private?[/quote]
