[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]19:41 again, let me add to the above.
Private: bad teachers (who smile), bad curriculum (never age appropriate, often pulled out of the air), too many holidays, too little class time (because of all the specials).
Public: little challenge, little attention, too much academic time, too little down time, too strict, boring (but if they have noting to compare it too that is OK). [/quote]

I continue to be amazed that people take their experience at a single private school or a single public school and extrapolate across all privates or all publics. Every school is different and every child is different. Go look at all of your options -- public and private -- and see which school among them seems to best fit your child/family. While the PP thinks her child gets too little class time because of the specials, for some people, the specials are exactly what make the tuition worthwhile. If you find a school where the specials are well-integrated with the rest of the curriculum, it's just increasing the depth of your child's knowledge about any particular thing. [/quote]

To clarify, two public schools. Two private schools. Yes, sweeping, but Op understands that this is a forum of regular folks. [/quote]
