[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We made the switch from public to private. My daughter was an A student at public and fit in socially. She just didn't like the general environment. This is what I've been hearing over the past 2 months (since the switch)

1) My teachers noticed immediately that I was capable of honors work in science and math and moved me up immediately.  I would have had to fight to move up in my public because of scheduling issues

2) My teachers are friendly, warm, and care about me as a person.

3) The kids were immediately accepting

4) I got a personalized congratulatory letter from the headmaster about my high honors status first semester there. I got high honors my whole first year at public and it went virtually unnoticed.

5) There is a dedicated individual and office for college questions, etc. who I can tap into whenever I want. In the couple months I've been there, I understand more about this process and feel less anxious about it.

6) I have fun in class, i.e. it is very participatory. Having my laptop there with me helps me organize my materials and really helps me in my research.

7) Not having a huge homework load allows me to de-stress and enjoy my music. I am a LOT less stressed than my friends still in their public.

8) I am free of SOLs and the courses are better since teachers are not teaching to these tests.

There's more, but that's enough to justify the tuition for me.[/quote]

Might I ask which school? It sounds amazing. [/quote]
