[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an aide at a well-regarded DCPS elementary and now teach at a private school in a different city. I do not think there are huge differences in the younger years. I do like teaching at a private better because of the latitude I have with the curriculum. I do not worry about testing. Also, for me a huge plus is lack of behavior issues. While most kids were well-behaved at the DCPS where I was an aide, we had some poorly behaved kids who took up class time. I was nearly impossible to discipline these kids due to rules put in place by the administration. [/quote] The behavior issues are the primary reason why we chose private school for elementary (that's as far as we have gotten so far!). It is no small thing to me that my child is actually learning versus waiting while the teacher disciplines. [/quote]
