[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for replies. Yes, I don’t want to waste my kids time. I will consider private, but it’s not even about school quality, but that I feel I don’t want them not going at their pace,faster or slower, which is what any school requires. [/quote]

Curriculum differentiation is available in different ways at many kinds of schools -- public, private, and charter. From the way you are talking about his on such sweeping levels of generality, I sense that you haven't explored in detail how the schools available to you manage this. Most states have GAL or GT programs in public school, so that even if the teacher/student ratio is higher they will get enriched curriculum and pullout according to their level. How much have you actually researched in your area?

Also, I would say that 70% of what kids get from school is not the academics but social-emotional growth. The academic material from say, one school year of math, is such that a bright child could cover it in four weekends. That doesn't mean there isn't any point to having them sit in a classroom. If the teachers are halfway decent, they also know how to use a spiraling curriculum to allow for greater depth on the same topics.[/quote]
