[quote=Anonymous]I went to a big three and have a step kid at a well regarded local public.

I don’t even know where to start with this post.

First of all, do a better job limiting how much time your son is allowed to spend doing video games.

Second, As and Bs is a good record at a big three.

Third, you are crazy if you think a kid who is not very driven or motivated well do better at a local public than a private. Public school is good for smart kids who are driven, self motivated, and equipped with excellent executive function skills. My step kid is smart but doesn’t have a ton of drive or great excellent function skills. It is amazing how teachers just let kids like him slip through the cracks. Well, it’s not their fault really. They have too many students. But I predict what will happen if you send your kid to public is that he will slack off, not get as good as an education, and either fly under the radar and get As and Bs or get even worse grades.

Also, does he have friends at your local public?

Keep your kid in private if you can afford it. I guess you could switch to a less rigorous private if you want, but I would not MAKE him do that.[/quote]
