[quote=Anonymous]Here's my situation:

I teach PS. One of my kids did fine in MCPS. The other has never attended PS. They are very different kids with different needs in terms of pedagogy and setting. I used to be weighed down with guilt about sending my kid to private. However, in the past year, more and more of my colleagues have come out of the closet that they send one or more of their kids to private school or they homeschool. No one ever says it's because the district is terrible or they want to avoid "bad kids" at the neighborhood private. Mostly, it's been that our own kid had unique needs that the local school couldn't handle. One colleague said she could sue her own employer or put her son in private. She choose private.
For the record. My younger child knew how to read and write going into K because she attended a private preschool that had a rigorous two year K-prep program. Her classmates who attended public for K and 1st were among the tiny minority of literate kids. Most could recognize numbers or letters individually and perhaps their first name. The readers were generally bored in ELA the first two years.[/quote]
