[quote=Anonymous]We are at the opposite end (kids near college) and I deeply regret not pulling my oldest kid out of the “good” public middle school. Public elementary was very good, public middle was educationally a disaster. My kid was assigned two books to read in three years of middle school. Was in the highest math class and got straight As at public middle, but was below the middle of the pack in private high school and got Cs when he started because he was unused to having to actually work for grades. We quickly saw the vast gap educationally and pulled the younger kids to private. They won’t have the same lack of education as their older brother, at least. I’m still annoyed at myself because I kept him there because I believed in public education. He paid the price for my idealism. I knew it was a mess after sixth grade but stupidly hoped it would get better, which of course it didn’t. [/quote]
