[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Small schools where students feel comfortable and part of a community.[/quote] I think this is a big part of it. Both of my kids switched from public to private in 9th grade and they blossomed into very outgoing, gregarious kids. Could have happened anyway in public school, but I think for my kids at least, being in smaller classrooms, knowing nearly every staff member and teacher in the school (whether they had them as a teacher or not), knowing many students in other grades, etc. gave them a real boost in confidence. Yes, it's all generalities, but having been in our public school, vs. our private where the students hold doors open for you, where they look you in the eye and can carry on a conversation, where the boys shake your hand upon meeting you, it does seem that overall the kids have a different manner.[/quote]
