[quote=Anonymous]If it makes you feel better, the “known and loved” thing is BS. I say that as a classroom teacher and someone who attended public and private schools. Being known depends more on smaller class sizes and smaller schools, and on the particular teacher. And the vast majority of kids, unless neurodivergent or anxious, don’t need to be known and loved at school that deeply. They need that at home. My own kid switched from a large public to a large private and he is still just a cog in the school. He is respected, sure, but I wouldn’t say he is “deeply known and loved” more than when he was at public school. The difference at the private is in content taught, behavioral expectations, and the ability to utilize leveling and teach civics and duty connected to morality. Oh, and teacher choice to reject edtech, which is such a difference. As a teacher, I believe in the importance of the classroom teacher and written work, not learning apps. [/quote]
