[quote=Anonymous]Here's a big difference - at my kids' private the lowest level is at grade level and there are no kids with any learning issues beyond mild adhd or other very mild issues that don't keep them below grade level. At our former public school my kids wanted to go faster but the class had a lot of kids who couldn't and the teachers always had to help a lot of other kids keep up. There are some real downsides to not having any peers in school who are slow, our private school is extremely competitive and kids who would be average in another setting feel like they're slow or bad students. Also, some of the lifers have had zero life experiences with people with learning or other disabilities and I wonder how they will interact later in the real world.[/quote]
