[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.  OP, if its just one teacher you don't like, I think you are overreacting to pull your kid out.  You should read lessons of a Skinned Knee -- there's a whole chapter about this sort of thing.  You won't find perfect teachers anywhere and your child will survive just fine.
2.  The fact that you were a teacher yourself makes me think your are going to be judgy of anyone.  Not everyone will do it your way.  
3.  I am a private school parents but really, really resent your slur of public school teachers.  Many work in very difficult conditions and do so because they are committed to teaching ALL children, not just the ones selected at a private school.  
4. I think I've read that kids from public schools do better in the college application process.  In any event, if you are so goal-oriented in choosing your school, you will have a rude awakening down the road.  [b]Private school doesn't entitle you to the college of your choice[/b].[/quote]

Children who excel in public schools get into "top" schools.   You aren't quite there yet, but you will see that the trend now is find the college that is the right fit for your child.  Sometimes the schools that people consider to be the "top" are not necessarily so for their kids.  I know plenty of hugely successful individuals who went to schools that aren't considered "top" schools.  [/quote]
