[quote=Anonymous]I had the exact same child (except no sport interest) and I can only give you the advice my child's 4th grade teacher at the JKL school told me: he will get left behind at Deal because teachers there are either dealing with troublemakers or highly motivated children, and his cohort of friends will be in that latter group and he will be left in the dust. That's all I needed to hear. We entered the lottery and got the charter we wanted, but private was absolutely our next move. Motivation matters a great deal as they leave elementary, and if your child doesn't have it and doesn't really fit into a category, the teachers will move on. The shear numbers dictate that. Great yeachers who are given a chance in a smaller setting can pull your child's potential out. [/quote]
