[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not talking academics, just character and good kids. My DD is in public now. There are so many poorly behaved children. I don’t know if they are bad or just don’t listen. My daughter is a great kid. I’m afraid that she will become entitled and learn mean girl behavior in private.[/quote]

It really is the luck of the draw and the mix of the individual personalities in the class.  My kids were two years apart. The older one was ina class that was terrible and mean and bullying all the time - both the boys and the girls.  Too many kids wanting to be top dog or chum up to the top dog. It didn’t matter how they mixed the kids in the three classrooms as they moved up.  Two years later, same school, same teachers, same administration - about 25% the same parents, it was a totally different class. They were nice and inclusive and helpful.  As my eldest class made its way through ES, no one wanted to teach them and the aides specifically asked not to be with them.  It was the total opposite of our younger child’s class, everyone loved teaching them and wanted to loop up.  The difference seemed to be in the natural leaders of each group and how their personalities balanced the group or created strife within the group.

You never really know what the mix will be until they show up.  [/quote]
