[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We switched our son from AAP to a private school because the AAP classes at our public were getting so big, and our son is quiet.  He was sort of sinking into the background of his classes, and not actively participating.  The teachers were yelling all the time to try to manage the chaotic classroom.  We switched to a very small private school and he really thrived.  The first day of his new school he came home and told me that the teachers actually like the kids. He said the teachers chose to eat lunch with the kids and talk to them.  (In reality, the school didn't have a cafeteria, so the teachers had to eat with the kids! I didn't correct him because he was so happy about it.)  For high school, we continued with a private school, because for him, it made a big difference in his overall attitude towards school.

This was true for one of ours as well. The chaos and yelling of public middle school (which provided a great education) changed his joyful and funny personality. It was like watching him shrink. He became himself again and continued to grow in a smaller calmer school. Now he is grown, mature, sure of himself, and poised to take on anything. Most importantly, he is himself again.[/quote]
