[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is very district and school dependent. I've worked in both public and private schools. I used to say that I didn't see the value in private elementary... but now I absolutely do. A LOT of teachers' and administrators' time and energy is spent dealing with the 3-4 kids in class with behavioral, psychological, and academic issues. Kids are pushed to mainstream when they have significant needs. The top kids get ignored. The middle kids get by.

There are also plenty of problematic private schools.[/quote]

That said, I have my elementary child in public. [b]I don't want to spend $20k a year and have him be snooty.[/b] I have kept him in public and [b]tell him to be kind,[/b] help other kids, listen to the teachers, and to do his best. We add more math and literacy at home, as we learned way back in kindergarten that he wasn't getting nearly enough of it.[/quote]

Ok, this just made me laugh a bit at the hypocrisy. So let me get this straight PP ... you want your child to be kind but do not hesitate to deal in generalizations and unkind comments about people you do not even know? Your opinion, PP, is not one that carries much weight if you ask me.

The private near me is fully of people who present as snooty. I’ve met people who send their kids there and met their kids. It’s not based on people I don’t know. Are ALL of them snooty? No. [/quote]
