[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid wasn’t challenged in his public grade school.  In 2nd grade he was starting to hate school because their idea of enrichment/advanced was just more worksheets.  He was tested (in 2nd) at a 6th grade reading level.  But socially he was young and physically short so their idea of having him skip a grade wasn’t in his best interest.

So we switched and it’s been wonderful.  He loves his school and is just so much happier. [/quote]

This is interesting because I thought private schools weren’t great for exceptional kids? Or did you go to Feynman/Nysmith[/quote]

Perhaps you've read to much BS on this board. Most top tier privates provide differentiated learning specific to the individual child.  I have a child very advanced in reading who is quite average in some other subjects. My other child is moderately advanced in all areas, but at his school he doesn't really stand out significantly since most kids are right there with him.[/quote]
