[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shocking and horrifying
[/quote]

I don't find this shocking or horrifying but rather a reality check that I will keep in mind as DC heads to another Big 3 for middle school next year. My DH has basically said: You're going there to make good grades. Bring home Bs and Cs and it's Hello Wilson.[/quote]

Yikes. What about a love of learning and the benefit of having small classes? I went to public and the writing and speaking skills of friends that had gone to private school were paramount - especially DC privates. [/quote]

I am with the PP.  I am not paying $80,000/year for my kids to bring home Bs and Cs, and I've made that perfectly very clear to my kids.  If the grades slip, it's public school for them.  We struggle to send our kids to private, so they are required to give 100% effort and nothing less.  I guess if we were rich my attitude might be different.  But we're not.  I completely understand where OP is coming from here.  [/quote]
