[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly this is how public school kids learn resilience.

Private school kids don’t have the opportunity to do so since they are in homogeneous classrooms with similarly abled peers.[/quote]

Not true but keep telling yourself this. I’ve had kids in both public and private and will pull my last kid out of public this year and enroll him in private next year. Private schools get to pick who they accept and if they feel like it’s a bad fit then can eventually counsel you out. But the remaining batch of kids are by no means a monolith - there are still varying levels of educations ability, spirited kids and diversity. Public schools must accept everyone. And in recent years, there has been a big push to mainstream everyone into general education classrooms even if they shouldn’t be here, which impacts the learning of kids who SHOULD be there.

I understand helping your kid develop toughness through adversity and exposure to kids from different backgrounds but NOT at the expense of my kid’s education. There are literally kids pissing in the corner in my child’s classroom, yelling, being disruptive the entire day. No thanks.  [/quote]
