[quote=Anonymous]And the ones who are not happy and whose kids are falling behind don’t return. That is the benefit of a private school. You can talk about how great all the kids are because you are under no obligation to continue teaching the kids that are struggling. And all the parents whose kids are there love it because if they didn’t, they would leave. Then they are simply disgruntled.

I think the reason people are mention the kids who don’t get into AAP attending Nysmith is because there are families who move their kids to private school in Third Grade if the kid does not make it into AAP. I don’t have any first hand experience with this so I am reading what has been posted here in context.

I am sure Nysmith is awesome. The campus looks great. As with most private schools, there are some amazing benefits to attending. I am positive that my son will get a great education in the public schools because his parents are involved parents and we keep an eye on what he is learning and how he is progressing. And I would rather put the money that we could be spending on private school into a college fun and our retirement fund.

I am glad that the kids at Nysmith love it and that the parents think is is great. I am glad it is there. I suspect that a kid who does well in AAP woud do well there and vice versa. We all want the best for our kids and are doing our best to give it to them.
