[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The different is an all you can eat buffet vs a sit down dinner with an attentive waiter and flexible chef.

You can get a lot out of public school, you can advance in math and science especially since so much of that is simply doing problems over and over again that are easy to check if correct and there is endless online resources. There are football teams and tons of sports for these huge schools, and lots of clubs. A self starting kid, especially one who is able to have parents reach out to professionals, tutors, and professors for enrichment will thrive.  But it is possible they will overeat (ie get really advanced in math with little depth) and skip big parts of the meal (writing is very weak in public because teachers are in charge of 150 students so reading that many writing assignments is untenable; and the reading assignments are often passages not full novels or texts until AP/IB)

Private schools will have teachers who keeping an eye on your kid; and the smart but lazy ones will be prodded by their attentive waiter to order a full course not just fill up on bread.  But you will have a more limited and focused curriculum not the all you can eat buffet, but it should have depth and be somewhat curated to your child’s abilities. [/quote]

This is also a good one, well balanced meal[/quote]
