[quote=Anonymous]Well said 19:10! We thought we would send our DC to our local public but after visits and meeting with the Principle and attending PTA meetings we felt it may not be a good fit. I look back on it now and I'm convinced he would have done fine w A,B,C's and 1,2,3's at the local public. His friends are all doing well and their families seem okay with the school. The big difference has been the social and emotional development along with the relax learning environment. I went in thinking my snowflake needed to be pushed because he is sooo smart that public would not be able to differentiate and would teach to the middle. What I have learned is my DC has been allowed to explore, create, and play so he can be ready to learn when it's time. He never attended public so I would be a fool to say these things don't exist at any public but my DC is having a very different experience than the kids I know that attend the local public. Not better, just different. And I believe it's a luxury not a necessity depending on your local public.  Is it necessary for a K class to have 6 field trips before the holiday break....maybe not?[/quote]
