[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People think acceleration means superior math knowledge. There is plenty of resesrch that shows acceleration isn’t best practice for most students and leads to gaps. Private schools take math slow and steady so the students understand the concepts and move on ready for the next math class. Don’t compare that with over accelerated and inflated grades from public [/quote]
You're drinking way too much of the cool aid there. Most private school students in college today are extremly undeprepared. This is my experience at a private school and a state school in 2014-2018[/quote]

That’s quite a claim. My own children went to private schools and breezed through college.

I’m also a teacher in a private high school. I keep up with many of my students, who return for our alumni events. They’re doing quite well.

Okay, I suspect your children didn't have a serious major and/or went to a private college that has an incentive to retain low performers.[/quote]
