[quote=Anonymous]All of the above, and we plan to add tutors for high school. The “honors“ classes are actually grade level classes, so they are not challenging and our kid is bored learning materials that he already knows. The advanced classes -especially math! - are not always taught by the best teachers, and without textbooks can get very confusing very quickly without anything useful to refer back to. Classes are big and materials are not graded closely, so DC doesn’t get valuable feedback on written submissions. We help with that, but there’s only so much we can do during the after work and weekend hours, especially with sports and other activities. All that being said, the overall curriculum and teaching, plus extracurricular activities, is better in our public schools, so it doesn’t make sense to spend +$40k/year for private when we can spend $5k for tutors to gapfill.[/quote]
