[quote=Anonymous]We sent our DC to "the top" public school in our district that people lied regularly to get into and is generally considered one of the best on the city and...we hated it. It wasn't right for our child. It was loud, chaotic, and kids behaved horribly with little consequence, and my son was bored while the teachers dealt with the behavior problems. We switched to what is probably considered a 2T private school and never looked back. BUT! We know plenty of kids who did fine at public school and are going to great high schools. It wasn't so much the quality of education...it was everything else that was a problem for us. My husband and I both went to TT NYC private schools and really thought we would be public or bust, but it wasn't right for our kid, and while our DC is incredibly bright and going to a TT high school, a smaller, warmer, less pressured private school ended up being right for us for elementary and middle school. People on these boards can be black or white...going to a TT isn't the only way a human becomes successful, and there are amazing 2T schools that are both warm AND can challenge your child. [/quote]
