[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too many pros and cons to list but my 2 cents is I have one in a top private and another in a top public. You mention your child of "gifted" in math. My public child also 6 does the same basic math as yours. The math is public is hands down better. The reading and writing is hands down better in private. We supplement for each child in those designated areas. Hope this helps.[/quote]

This is very helpful--thank you. Just curious, how do their social/emotional experiences differ? Our *gifted* kiddo has a lot of reluctance to engage socially. The K he is in now has small classes, so that has helped a ton...if I share any concern of DH it is that when/if he goes to a public with larger classes, he risks withdrawing into himself and getting lost in the social flow.[/quote]

One benefit to consider of larger classes is that your DS has a better chance of finding his people when there are more people to connect with.  In K kids are still pretty much just friends with everyone but finding the social group you fit with can be more challenging as you get older and even more so if there is a small group to interact with.[/quote]
