[quote=Anonymous]Sounds a lot like my DD in 1st grade (a few years ago). She was at a small private, and a lot of the anxiety was caused by the highly competitive (academically but also socially/economically) school setting--she is much, much happier in public. We live in DC, so our selection of lower-key public options is different from what you have in MoCo...though I understand the GT possibility might open up some different public pathways down the road. Not intending to be anti-private school on the private school forum--different solutions will work for different kids--but I'd caution that if private will be a financial stretch, it might not help the anxiety when (some) classmates have luxurious houses, vacations, etc. All good wishes on the journey ahead![/quote]
