[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Class size, class size, class size. That’s what you’re paying for. [/quote] Class sizes are the same at least at the elementary level at my local public versus local parochial schools. In fact the parochial class sizes may be slightly larger. But the public school classes so far have had 15% of the kids be so disruptive and the lack of leveling has been dragging the whole class' achievement down. My kid's growth tests showed flat progress for the year and his math scores are actually consistenly lower than he tested at the beginning of the year. Looking at parochial not for class size, but for 1) more compliant kids who aren't going to derail the class 2) traditional curriculum and 3) standards based and evidenced based teaching/curriculum through textbooks vs teaching literacy and math "skills" on ipads. I'm hoping parochials still teach kids how to organize and write. [/quote]
