[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I'm the person who wrote about my child being in Spanish for four years and still not knowing much Spanish. I have a child in public and a child in private, so I straddle both forums. In our case, one of our children needed the smaller class size, but our other child is absolutely thriving in public school.

While I don't think my child in public school is learning much in the Spanish class, he loves it and loves the teacher, so I don't feel the need to complain to the County. I guess I'm saying that I don't think that private is the end-all, be-all for every child and I know a number of families that have children in both public and private.

Honestly, the thread about the daughter who wants to return to public and the Queen Bee Mom who posted turned my stomach (though I realize the same types of people exist in publics, especially in our area).[/quote]

Thank you for sharing. If you don't mind, can you also comment on the dynamics between the siblings with one being in private and the other in public? I am always curious with families that have one in each, do they ever make comments like why can't I got to that school to or how come my school doesn't have that? I personally would be so torn if I could only afford private for one and not the other. [/quote]

I have one in each. I much prefer the private but I TRY to be sound excited/complimentary about each school.  My older DD (in public) wants my younger DD (in private Kinder) to switch to her school.  There is some jealousy from older DD because I volunteer a bit more at private school and they have cooler programs that they can't afford at public. But, she doesn't want to switch, so...
