Teachers gear their efforts to the middle, to the squeeky wheel , if you will. Were it my child, I would not put my DC in an educational environment where all the teacher's energy goes to  teaching remedial english reading and writing skills. That's me. [/quote]

This is "you" too: implying every public school is filled to the rafters with ESOL and remedial-level kids. On the contrary, there are plenty of good public schools in the area where your kid will be in a peer group with lots of kids who may be *shocker* better prepared than your own kid. Let's not be idiots with the stereotypes about public schools.

There are plenty of good, valid reasons for choosing private schools: a kid needs small class sizes, privates have better college counseling, less emphasis on APs, et cetera.  These are what OP should look at when she decides if they're important for her "average kindergartner."[/quote]

Thanks for saying this because someone had to. Also, she misspelled squeaky. [/quote]
