[quote=Anonymous]Just going to jump in with an aside, phps irrelevant? Dunno, take it for what it's worth. Regardless of where you send your child to school, take the time to find out about the culture of the place. Do you like the way staff describe how they handle problems and challenges? Are the teachers smart and kind? Does the principal impress you? Do school staff seem to sparkle when they talk about their children, I mean, pupils? Are the parents just so darn tickled that their child has "Ms. ABC" this year, because she's wonderful? Can they talk with you in a convincing way about how children at different stages of understanding are supported in class? That's what I'd look for, primarily. I know of some top-performing (private) schools that have a reputation for cliquishness and "mean kids" with teachers not know how or having the support to change this culture. [/quote]
