[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised at all these people paying for what sounds like truly terrible private schools!

I have one in public and one in private.
My sense is the biggest difference is class size.  Having 25 kids instead of 12 kids in a class truly doubles the time for so many things, from class presentations to just lining up and going to lunch or bathroom breaks.

The public school also seems to do so much more in "small groups"  For example, at the private school, they switch classes for math based on ability, so each kid gets 45 minutes of math class.  At the public school, there are three math groups.  So the hour long math block involves basically three 15 minute "classes" plus wasted time for switching between the groups.  So each kid only gets 15ish minutes of true instruction, and then "independent practice" or iready for the rest of the period.[/quote]

I believe it is a troll or two.  If not, joke is on them for continuing to pay for what they see a a substandard education.  We have none of those issues with either private school our kids attend.[/quote]

Yes, this sounds like trolling. Basically saying that they are paying for something that is less valuable than the free public education available, and if that’s the case you should absolutely go to your local public. That has not been our private school experience at all, but if that’s what’s happening for you then definitely leave![/quote]
