[quote=Anonymous]If you think all boys is right for your son, then go visit them all and find the best match for him.  Don't worry about what anyone else says.

It's not like you won't be judged by your neighbors for choosing private over public anyway.  Do what works for you.

That said - take what you have heard from this board (and others) - both good and bad - and see for yourself whether it applies to you or not.  I have always found in the past when I hear parents talk about which teachers are good/bad, that often it didn't play out in my own experience.  We've had great teachers that others said were bad.  This includes a teacher that people said "liked girls and disliked boys", who loved my son and was really great with him.  They just had their own bad experience and it didn't translate to "everyone".

Also remember, that some of the things that negative reports of things related to all boys school culture, can be overcome by your family's culture at home. Similarly, many of the negative things at the school may be the result of the "home culture" for those specific children's families. So if you are worried about these things, you have the power to affect them.

Good luck in your search - I'm sure you'll find a great fit. You clearly care and are doing your homework.  [/quote]
