[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you would do private for k-5 then public for middle school. We did public K-5 then private middle school then back to public high school. Worked out great. You really want to know about the kids your middle schooler is hanging out with and who their parents are. Easy to do in private but harder in public middle. Private middle schools do a much better job of no phones in class and are stricter in terms of behavior. You learn better study skills as well. [/quote] We did this because there were actually more opportunities for advancement in our public district. K-5 private was great for building (reinforcing) high expectations, good behavior, and let them learn with less distractions and more focus from teacher. We moved them in middle school to public because our district has an amazing accelerated academic program where they can work several grades ahead. Private school just couldn’t do this, at least not well. [/quote]
