[quote=Anonymous]I have two in private (ES and HS), and one in MoCo MS, in a magnet program in a low performing, low SES, hi FARMS school.  My two in private work incredibly hard and love school.  There are no easy A's at their schools.  My MS child gets straight A's without doing much, except showing up.  He is not learning the value of hard work, nor is he working collaboratively or on projects with peers.  He hates school, and is bored out of his head.  It is clear to me that they are passing him through (yes, it happens).  He does well on MSA's, so he and the other kids in his group are helping the school.

Good grades at a crappy school is not a quality education.  We are pulling him for private.  And FWIW, I don't care about exmissions, I care about what my kids are learning now, and how their current experiences will help them in the future.  And both kids who are currently in privates attend schools with diverse student populations, including SES, thanks to large endowments.  The difference is that in private school, the students and parents are the customers.  Not true in public.[/quote]
