[quote=Anonymous]It all depends on how good your public option is.  We moved our kids to private because our public tightly controlled curriculum, leaving teachers with no room for creativity, and dumbed down the advanced track in the name of equity.

There are plenty of reasons that a smart kid would not be performing well beyond learning disabilities, highest among them being stuck with uninspired teaching in large classes.  You don’t need to be a tippy top private to get small classes amd creative teaching.

The pp with the lengthy post also fundamentally misunderstands private schools.  AP classes are not limited because of limited curriculum, AP classes are not offered because the schools don’t want to be stuck with the standardized AP curriculum and believe their own advanced classes are as rigorous if not more rigorous than the AP curriculum.  Private school college matriculation has suffered a bit with the college focus on first Gen and URM; but remains better than at similar income public schools.  [/quote]
