[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Strange that in this Private School forum people are pushing for public schools ...[/quote]

I think folks in this thread are put off by OP's lack of perspective about her child's abilities, which are precocious but not earth-shattering, and by her stated desire to avoid kids with special needs. Her child would be fine at public, or at any good private, but doesn't need a special school for gifted kids at 5. [/quote]
Her perspective is not at all out of wack, even for the DC metro area  and it’s strange so many people in a private school board are claiming public is best. Let the parent decide. It comes across as petty, at best, to mock and belittle.

No, most folks are suggesting a good local public OR a good local private as the first school for OP's child and then re-evaluate if it does not seem to be satisfactory.  Every good public and private school could potentially work out just fine for a highly advanced young student because there are many highly advanced students in this area.   Many "gifted" kids are attending and succeeding at a variety of good public and private schools around here.  [/quote]
