[quote=Anonymous]OP - I have to disagree with your statements from my own experience. The kids entering my kids' private school in 9th grade from public school are more often than not at a disadvantage in some areas. They may be right on level for math and science, but almost uniformly are very behind in their writing and analytical skills. In addition, they are at a complete loss as to how to make a presentation, which inevitably requires these skills and is required on practically a weekly basis in my kids' school. These are skills which take more time to learn and are harder to develop and which simply does not happen at an early age in public schools.

I'm not sure what you're trying to get from your post, especially since you're committed to sending your to private next year. Do you need advice on what to say as a comeback to people who question your choices? You need to know that people will always question your decisions, but you don't need to listen to them. We should all do what is best for our own families and not worry about what others will think…it's gets you and your kids no where.
