[quote=Anonymous]I posted about my preference for private schools. I want to add that we do not have great public schools where we live. They are underfunded, and teachers have an enormous workload, which means they can’t care the least about certain kinds of kids. One type they don’t care about: the quiet, well behaved A student. They don’t cause any trouble so the teacher ignores them. They could use help to get out of their shell and participate more, be more active in clubs etc, but they are never given the chance as they aren’t loud enough. The second type that I noticed who doesn’t do well at our public’s is the kid who needs some extra support - not because they are dumb but because they are that organized. Eg: and ADJD kid, who could be incredibly smart but will drown in those sink or swim schools. 
So - I have one of each and I would have done an incredible disservice to my children (the bright but quiet A student and the ADHD literary genius), if I had kept them in public.

As parents we just try to do the best by our kids and for us the decision was easy to make. [/quote]
