[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know Whitman, and most of the privates previously mentioned, very well. Why would someone have a legitimate reason to send their child to a private (assuming they can afford it, of course):
1. Class Sizes. More discussion-based opportunities within the classroom, and more opportunities to learn how to effectively write due to more frequent reading and writing assignments.
2. Teachers/staff tracking students more closely. Parents informed when there are difficulties instead of parents learning when report card comes home.
3. Fewer graduation requirements, allowing for students to pursue academic interests during high school.

Tell the private school of SAAS that they are missing the boat. The number 1 reason with regards to teaching writing has been abysmal. Smaller class size is correct. And your number 2 reason regarding learning about difficulties beforehand. Sure, some teachers may report but don’t expect support from them as you should expect with paying tuition. Or support if a student is out sick to catch up. [/quote]
