[quote=Anonymous]I'm not getting into the earlier debates, but even non-prestigious private schools offer advantages for kids for whom public school is not a great fit, including smaller classes, more accessible teachers and activities, more desirable hours and schedules, and greater ability to adapt to situations, the latter of which was on full display during the pandemic. My kids have attended both, and the ones that attended public received an excellent education. My kids who weren't thriving in public school have benefitted from the sense of community at a smaller school, smaller class sizes, better communication from teachers and administration, more accessible activities (fewer sports and activities with cuts), and later and healthier start times. As a parent, one of the things I like most has been a calendar with fewer early dismissals and days off (and fewer snow days), which is helpful in maintaining a routine and educational momentum.[/quote]
