[quote=Anonymous]I send my child to private school and teach in public school. It was a hard choice for us, but I think the right one for our circumstance (our local school is NOT a well regarded MoCo school) Differences I see... -More developmentally appropriate curriculum in lower grades (K-3) - including NO homework before 3rd grade -More opportunities for Art, Music and PE -Smaller class size -Teacher has more freedom to teach to the needs/interests of the class and is not bound as tightly to a curriculum created by people who haven't seen a classroom in years. -A culture of respect - from teachers, parents and children -A tighter community -more parental involvement (in the good way) -fewer behavior problems that take away learning time -less time spent on standardized testing -in our case more resources (when comparing smaller privates to many publics this is not always the case) -Outside teaching/learning spaces [/quote]
