[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I just think she should be exposed to children you look and are different.  Our private school looks the same.  I am worried about how she will navigate life and build confidence in the bubble of private school where they snowplow everything out of her way[/quote]

Not knowing your precise situation, this sounds like a school issue not a public v. private issue. My siblings and I went to a mix of public and private, and found that public (in our area at least) tended to have fewer consequences for cheating, cutting class, etc. and made it easier to avoid responsibility. Socially, my public school also felt much more like a bubble than my private HS, but your situation may vary.

All that aside, I don't think you're going to give your kid a defining experience by having them switch schools for a couple years in early elementary. I barely remember 2nd grade. I'd avoid the disruption and stay where you are, unless you want to make a long-term switch.[/quote]
