[quote=Anonymous]I was commenting on a type of kid who benefits from private school - and smaller class size definitely draws such kids out. I never said there weren't different kinds of kids in private school. Of course there are ... As just some categories, there are kids who have alumni as parents, there are kids who don't have good public options, there are kids of teachers because of convenience and/or tuition breaks, etc. And at DC's private, she is probably one if the more outspoken and outgoing kids ... Many kids are quieter and more shy even in smaller groups. The question was whether public or private is more rigorous, particularly in lower grades. From my experience - which is confined to advanced academic programs in public - public is more rigorous. I think all good public/private schools generally catch up to each other in high school, with the exception that places like Blair and TJ have some more advanced options. [/quote]
