[quote=Anonymous]Sure, let's play along with the troll today, because it's Friday.

Honestly, I see so many reasons for private school. We live in an overcrowded school district where the administration continues to make decisions for the school system that I do not agree with. Our high school has over 4,000 students and our middle schools are so overcrowded students can barely move in the hallways.

Even if we lived in a great school district, the 1:1 resources in public schools, in my experience, aren't often as strong as what students receive in private schools. My step-DC was in a specialized HS academy. Even in that special program, the support they received when applying to colleges was almost non-existent. They were not guided on safety schools, reach schools, and middle-of-the-road schools, as, in my personal experience, private schools do a good job of doing. They ended up only getting into one college as they did not apply as strategically as they could have if given the proper support. Yes, parents can step in and guide, but often teenagers work better with other influences than just their parents.

My main goal with private school is a supportive environment for my child to learn where they receive the guidance they need at each step in their schooling. [/quote]
