[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I want my kids to learn to love learning. I don't want them to go to an Ivy or other crazy notions that are immagined about why I send my kids to a private school.

I just don't want my kids to hate school.[/quote]

What do you think parents of children in public school want? And why don't you think what you describe is possible there? I only ask because I want to be sure people investigate their own specific local school to decide whether it offers these things, rather than assume all public schools are alike.[/quote]

Probably the same- most kids like the model of their public school - so they are happy - and not frustrated. Because we went to the school spoke to the administration and the learning specialist there so my specific school does not have these thing then we looked again when our school changed and then when he was ready for middle school. We also have a meeting planned for this summer to discuss it again. But I know there is no outdoor recess when there is cold or snow. Their breaks are 10 min between classes. No band during school. 20 min for lunch. Some lunches are at 11 am.

I don't think all public schools are alike - I only care about the one in our district.

You don't think I would pick free if I felt it was an option.[/quote]
