[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the teachers do treat these kids differently in my opinion, but it's not in a negative way. It's more in an encouraging and tolerant way because they are trying to make it work and realize that some of these kids come from disadvantaged homes and are trying to fit in. [/quote] [/quote] The note appearing above is our experience. Spouse and I were both FA in private schools. It was emphatically NOT worth it, and academically we learned that all but the very top layer of privates are well below a good public academically. The teachers all knew, and so did the parents, and most of the kids. Socially, it was devastating. In college, we were both FA, but it was much easier and contextually completely different. [/quote] It wasn't worth it...do either you or your spouse feel that college would have been in reach if you had remained in the public schools that you attended prior to private school?[/quote]
