[quote=Anonymous]OP- Consider why you are wanting to switch your child to public. If its because you think he will find more inspiration and greater variety of classes fine. But, if you think its because its an easier place for unmotivated kids well be careful. Public school is about degrees of rigor so that it can serve all students. There will be students below grade level who are working hard to come up and others who are not. There will be grade level students who take all regulars or a mix of honors and regular classes who are working hard to stay on level/just above level and those who don’t work hard and still manage to get A’s. There will also be driven kids and high fliers who take very rigorous classes from all honors/AP/IB/College classes who will be ahead of grade level from day1 and work hard to stay there and even pull further ahead. Be sure you have clear expectations about school and your child. [/quote]
