[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in an affluent suburb outside of NYC. GS 10, small classes (under 22), and involved active parents. In our district, people only send their kids to private school if they have attention or behavioral problems. We briefly looked into the private schools and they have graduating classes of like 20. Seems stifling to the child's social development. If you want something ultra special, then you'd do boarding school (but I'm personally against that and would never agree to it). Are the public schools in VA really that bad?[/quote] I find that to be true here for K-8, but by HS age many of the really bright, zero behavioral or emotional needs break off for private HS. It’s the rigor/writing/not teach to the test mentality and the limitations of a big public school system that are the impetus for this change.[/quote]
