[quote=Anonymous]We chose academics over social, but knew our kid was a social butterfly and would likely easily adjust to the new environment. The current private is no academic powerhouse, but the bar was so low at the public. What we pay for at the private is at least akin to the public education we had growing up... and there are zero behavioral issues. DC9 now knows how to spell words like "friend" and "principal," can identify parts of speech, and is learning about geographic regions, scientific method, and has plenty of math practice. Handwriting is getting better every month now that there is written work being prioritized over Chromebook time. I do try to choose extracurricular settings that put DC in contact with different kinds of kids and families (immigrant families, non-Asian minorities, other languages besides Spanish/English, lower SES, male/minority coaches). School is not very diverse.[/quote]
