[quote=Anonymous]Private schools vary widely but a lot of them had very weak math programs 20 years ago, especially in lower schools. This led to a stereotype that private schools are behind in math. Sometimes it was true - I went to a parish school that was very weak in math. More recently, private school programs have gotten better while public schools deal with a variety of challenges that diminish instruction. So you end up in a debate over acceleration, which is not the same thing as a strong math program. [/quote]
