[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, it was about smaller classes, differentiation in reading and math starting in K, and small group learning, as well as more art, PE, language, etc. Our oldest is very quiet. Very, very quiet. I asked the preschool director why I had to try hard to get DC into a private school since we lived in bounds for a JKLMM. The director said, "DC will sit there, do exactly as s/he is told, and they will never know what DC is capable of." That was enough to tip us over the edge to get reading and math in small groups so that they would know what DC was capable of. Many years later, DC is a top (and internally driven) student. Many other kids could manage to stand out and get what they need in public. Heck, I was one of them. We had a choice for our DCs and did the best we could at trying to determine which of our options were right for them. YMMV.[/quote]
