[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He goes to public school. What do you expect?[/quote]

Former teacher:

Kids from private schools who came to our public school always had gaps in their knowledge. 100% of the time. My niece was in private and was top of the 8th grade in math. The school said she had no peers at her math level because she was so far ahead but they created enrichment for her for the 10th grade curriculum. 3/4 of the way through 8th grade she had to switch to public school in FCPS. She was so far behind that she needed tutoring 3x a week to be able to understand what was being taught. I’m not dissing privates because there are some benefits to them, but don’t kid yourself that private school education is the utopia. [/quote]

All private schools are not the same.  My son will take BC calc as a sophomore and our public offers nothing beyond that (they said they’d pay for college classes). Our private (that we are switching to) offers multi variable, diff eq, linear algebra, a multiple advanced math seminars.[/quote]

I just have to say that our public school offers all the math classes that you mentioned. You are obviously not in Montgomery County. I don't want to take away from the discussion, but just wanted to mention that.[/quote]

Same. [/quote]
