[quote=Anonymous]OP,

Are you on the spectrum, by any chance? Your long-winded formality and misunderstanding of the issues are red flags.

The primary years are a little boring to precocious kids. That is because primary schools, public and private, need to teach kids to read and count, and so they focus on the kids who need the most help. They offer a little enrichment, etc, but that's all.

So love of learning must come from within, and it's really not in your control: your child has a personality largely forged by genetic assortment. If you and your spouse liked to learn as kids, then it's likely your child will do the same. You can encourage it by reading to them and doing all kinds of educational activities, but really, you're starting off with the kid you have.

Elementary for kids who learn academics easily is mostly about socialization and friendships.

In secondary, the coursework becomes a lot more important, and personally, I would move out of DCPS and into FCPS or MCPS, if you want to stick with publics. MCPS in particular has a much better academic reputation than DCPS.
