[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that college visits have started, DS has expressed some regrets that attending public school may have yielded a top [b]GPA with easier classes, more time for sports, social life and extracurriculars plus an easier path to the top universities.[/b] However, he also knows the skills he learned from attending a small, rigorous private school will ultimately set him up best for college, graduate studies and life beyond. Private school was definitely harder than public. I know we made the right decision. Excited for final year of HS![/quote]

Isn't this what HS life should be about though? Public school kids are also very ready to succeed in college. We left public for private and absolutely would have made a different choice if doing it again! (I'm not the OP) The fact that we were in public prior to HS makes a difference in my thinking though. Private is definitely harder and starting that in 9th isn't the best idea...an adjustment year would have been ideal.[/quote]
