[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both of my kids went to public school. The public’s offer so many more opportunities for personal growth, so many more classes on a much wider variety of subjects, exposure to a wider variety of kids to find your social niche, more ap classes, betterSTEM education, and encourage kids to self advocate. We started both kids at private but switched to public when it became clear that private could not meet the intellectual needs of my DS who is highly gifted in math. He ended up at Blair magnet. I switched my second child to public as well to have one school calendar. Both kids took advantage of what the public schools offer and both landed in top twenty schools. No regrets. If I had left them in private, neither would have reached their potential because the opportunities don’t compare.[/quote] I’d love to know what private you left.[/quote]
