[quote=Anonymous]To answer the OP's question, I would recommend supplementing (either by a parent if the parent has the time, the inclination, and the ability OR via an outside class). You don't need to pay $40,000 a year for private though. As a dirt poor kid whose parents could not supplement, I graduated at the top of my high school class and went on to an Ivy on scholarship. There I found a weakness in my secondary school education: the lack of good writing classes that went beyond grammar but addressed precision, organization, and style. Fortunately, I had an excellent but tough expository writing teacher in my freshman year who helped me develop my writing skills. As an employer, I can attest that good writing and speaking skills are hard (& important) to find. [/quote]
