[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, we went to private and it is so much better in terms of the kind of work they do, the "interestingness" of the projects, the amount of writing, the science,  the emphasis on critical thinking, etc. Even the types of books they read for school are more individualized to the child's level and more interesting. On the other hand, none of that is going to net you any tangible benefit besides a richer day-to-day experience, and it comes at an expensive price.[/quote]

Are you saying you switched? Or always went to private?[/quote]

Switched to private after lackluster K and first grade years. It's totally better--but the money is no joke, my kid would do "fine" in public in the sense that I doubt there will be any measurable differences in outcome compared to his peers who stayed in public, and once you go private it becomes extremely hard to decide to switch back. Almost everyone I work with has grown kids they put through private, and they all say it wasn't worth it. But we're doing it anyway, because it's worth it to us now.[/quote]
