[quote=Anonymous]Super happy also. We only experienced public before and it would be a lie to say it was in any way comparable to what we're experiencing, even in a small parochial private school that isn't one of the big private schools in the area. What I've noticed most of all is that the kids aren't rushed through curriculum in the name of testing. Teachers are thorough and there is an emphasis on good writing, grammar, reading full books. Just the fact that the teacher actually spends time reading a book out loud to the students as opposed to playing a video of someone reading a book on youtube. Huge difference. Also no games on laptops, no excuses not to go outside for recess, more play based learning in the early grades. In many ways similar to what public school was like 20 or 30 years ago before common core standardized everything. I'm sure that if given the same standardized test, test scores would probably similar between a good public and small private but the experience itself has been very different so far, making the test scores almost irrelevant because that's not the focus. Everyone's mileage may vary when it comes to that though. [/quote]
