[quote=Anonymous]Attempting to get this thread back on track: I did jump from a well-regarded AAP school to a no-name niche Christian private. This was mainly on the grounds that the well-regarded AAP school thought it beneath them to actually *teach* anything to the kids, preferring that they spend all their time on the computer googling for cool images to put in interminable slideshows. Among other things, the shift gave me a lot of time back in my day: I didn't feel the need to massively supplement my 99th percentile kid any more, because the school was now making sure learning was happening. For what it's worth, the AAP kids in the public school were probably, on average, smarter and more driven. If the public school was better and the private school was worse, I might've thought differently. But I spend an abnormal amount of time researching children's education, knew what I wanted, and knew that this particular private would offer it.[/quote]
