[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My reason for private: they expel behavior problems, they fire burnt-out, lazy teachers, they keep parents informed.[/quote]

Smaller classrooms, teachers that have autonomy and not a terrible curriculum, class days not set aside for standardized testing, more PE, science, arts, and music in lower school, safer environment with better security, uniforms (at least for mine.) and so many little extras like study skills, extensive writing, speech, etc...

I absolutely don't care if my private school kid goes to UMD.  I really don't.  I didn't send her to private for college.  I sent her because she was a quiet kid who needed teachers that cared to bring out the best in her.  She hated school before switching and since then she has loved it.  There is 13 years of education.  Their childhood, health, and happiness is important to me.  Most of her friends in public hate school.  I mean really hate school.  The kids are happy in her school and it is cool to be smart and involved.  Best decision we ever made. [/quote]
