[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6th grader in private is reading a 7th assigned chapter book since the school year started.  His teachers have lead them in discussions analyzing the books, they have been testing on the comprehension of deep themes in the stories and also done essays on the books.  He is getting intense grammar education and his writing is being analyzed with markups of ways he could improve what he wrote and then the class does revisions and turns it back in based on the feedback they received which also gets a thorough review with line by line feedback from the teacher. The teacher is able to give such a thorough personal writing critique because the class is small.  If they need assistance the teachers are meeting with them during breaks or after school.  This is the kind of academic experience I am paying for that is not happening in public.  Also as others have mentioned it was clear in the conferences and throughout the year as they reached out to us that teachers know my kid very well and work with us to get the best out of him and I really appreciate the effort and high standards they have for him.

My kids are currently in public elementary. I don’t know if we’ll do private middle, but the writing instruction is the biggest potential draw for me and my biggest concern with public middle school.[/quote]
