[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One risk-aversion concept: An apparently "average" K kid may well have some minor or difficult-to-identify learning issue, like very low-grade dyslexia. In private school, a non-cert teacher will almost never pick that up. By contrast, most public schools look specifically for issues of exactly that nature. [/quote] I have a very bright kid with mild learning issues in public school. Most teachers in public will not pick up on this either. Publics will typcially only provide extra help to your child if the child is two grade levels behind. It really takes a very caring and experienced teacher to pick up on mild learning disabilities. We love our DCPS public school, but the kids are NOT given enough time to eat lunch. [/quote]
