[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading these posts just drives home to me that every kid is different and needs different support. My child was also in the large class with 2 teach experiment. It remains their favorite Janney year. They got more personal attention than any other year and are now at an Ivy college after remaining in public schools through HS. That being said, no matter where your child goes, how much you pay, or the services needed, [b]parental involvement and a ton of patience remains essential. [/b][/quote]

I want to preface this by saying that I am attempting to respond with great respect it may come across as snarky and I don’t intend that

I respectfully disagree that no matter where you go or what you pay, need a lot of parental involvement and a great deal of patience.  
I raise this because I’m sure there are some people reading this who are on the fence about what year they will start private school.  ie, maybe the plan is 9th or 6th, but the money is there for you to start in K

We sent our kid K-12 to a DC independent school and once I was satisfied that he was a typical learner, I sat back and did not in fact, pay much attention. It was fairly plug-and-play. He did not have one minute of outside  enrichment To make up for perceived deficits

Of course, people elect to go to private school and do have to remain vigilant and overly engaged. But there’s a fair number of us successfully avoid all that and come out with an excellent appropriate, right size elementary education.  [/quote]

That's what private school parents are paying for. Kids don't fall through the cracks in private -- the whole school is paying attention to every kid.

Public school parents (and students) need to hustle and find opportunities and be a bit more of an active participant in education. This is common to all public schools.
