You must be crazy, I had to take my super high iq kid out of catholic school because it was a whole year of complaints about him not adhering to the rules, asking too many questions, questioning the teacher, etc, etc, etc.  We had a note sent home practically every other day.  Since entering an HGC, he is surrounded by peers and teachers who let him run with ideas instead of discouraging him.[/quote]

You sound like you enable your kid's poor behavior. It's never okay for a child to challenge a teacher. Period.

I was tested as a child and was off the charts. I excelled in catholic school. My catholic high school was far more challenging than law challenging. Undergrad was a breeze in comparison.

Fwiw, while your kid with behavior issues might excel in an alternative learning environment, he will likely do poorly in HS, college and grad school given the more traditional approach to teaching. That's the key to why kids who graduate from catholic school do so well in college and grad school: academic discipline. [/quote]

PP #1: All private schools challenge and stimulate all kids.
PP #2: Catholic school did not challenge and stimulate my kid.
PP #1: That's because your child behaves badly.

Huh.

(Maybe PP #1 should have said, "All private schools challenge and stimulate all kids,[i] except for badly-behaved kids[/i]"?)[/quote]
