[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think this is about play. In public schools, kids loose access to recess early on. In privates, kids have a chance to learn through play, have more chances to move their bodies, more P.E., and classrooms set up for them to engage in learning in different ways. When we toured a public school kindergarten class, we were surprised with how few toys were there and how little time kids had to exercise.[/quote] It is about that for little kids. But for tweens, it's about not exposing them to things that are more appropriate for high schoolers-- basically sexuality in appearance and in media. Sometimes for religious reasons, sometimes not. Personally I do think it's nice to keep that stuff to a minimum-- you have your whole life to be an adult and think about adult things, and it's nice at 12 or 13 to still be a bit sheltered from dating and kissing and everything else.[/quote]
