[quote=Anonymous]My kid went to one of those tiny privates. There were valuable things about it — it was too small for cliques, and most kids were quirky in one way or another, which took some pressure off socially. (I don’t know if it’s that the families of quirky kids sought out this kind of education and experience, or if it was just the kind of environment where kids didnt have to hide their quirky parts. Some of both, probably. At any rate, there might have been a little less social pressure.)

But it’s true that you are really dependent on whatever one teacher happens to be in the room — and there will be only one. They won’t have supports, and the teachers might be well intentioned (might!) but they very well might not have the training to actually support your kid. What then? That’s a really important question to ask. What happens when your kid taxes their processes and expertise? The answer is, they might give up on your kid very quickly. There will be nothing to keep them from doing so.

So choose carefully. Do your homework. Talk to not only families who are there — in our experience those families were a little cultish, honestly — but also those who left.

Would I do it again? It’s a little hard to be objective. Maybe not. I’d certainly go in with eyes more open. [/quote]
