[quote=Anonymous]OP, There are some really good and thoughtful comments here. Your neighbors have a point. I do not think that either of my DS's had good math instruction, in particular, in their private elementary schools (we tried two). Now in a rigorous private HS they are doing fine but their work ethic is not the same as some of the kids that transferred in from more traditional environments or public schools. They do "love to learn" but they don't like to do their homework. This might be because they are teenage boys but your neighbor's observations do seem true for us. There were many other benefits though from their early private education, and the emphasis on social development definitely benefited my kids. My 10th grade DS also writes better than I did as a senior in college. [/quote]
