[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've sent my DS to public and private. All schools are different but there are pros and cons. My "real" experience however, is that the insanely smart kids- the genius kids- are concentrated in the public schools. My DS did math competitions and the "out there" kids headed to nationals were in the public school districts. DS went to state, not nationals, and his private school math curriculum couldn't handle him. We had to pay for outside enrichment on top of private tuition. No thanks. [/quote] Also, my DS joined his public school math team this year. He said that every kid, except him, on the math team is Asian- I hate stereotypes but I do not think this is a coincidence- math competitions create a huge learning and test taking advantage- winning is just a bonus compared to the learning. btw, this is a voluntary team- no testing in and no cuts...but yet we complain about test scores. Math competitions = higher test scores. [/quote]
