[quote=Anonymous]We had similar concerns when we decided to send our DS to a private school.  Now, a few years later, I wouldn’t say those concerns have gone away.  In fact, I am considering whether to leave private for a well-regarded public school.  Perhaps it is a function of the school we chose.  It is a progressive school, and over time, I have been coming to the view that a more traditional school with better structure would have been the right choice.  I have been fairly underwhelmened with the results at the private school, which, frankly, should be a lot better, given the amount of effort we put in at home, and I tend to think that in a different environment we would be in a better place.  Additionally, private schools are small.  That can be good, but it can also be limiting.  Our DS is in a very gender imbalanced class, and while DS has a lot of friends, the number of kids that are truly his people seems limited.  Unfortunately, one of them left last year, so that has gotten even smaller.[/quote]
