[quote=Anonymous]NP but had a similar experience. I was a public school kid, my husband private. He wanted kids in private, I wanted them at our local public which is a 5 minute walk. And it was good at first- being able to do sports and activities so close to home was awesome. We were making friends with nearby neighbor parents. All good. And then the kids got older. And their interests started to shift. And they now dislike the kid who lives around the block because whatever drama happens in 4th grade.
Our younger one who is more shy seemed to just disappear into her class of 25. 
The straw on the camel’s back for me tho was going to a back to school night and hearing the teachers say frequently things like “we have to teach it this way because of the state/county” or “they just changed the curriculum again so now we need to teach it this way”. It felt so meh and disappointing.  Meanwhile,  the private schools we toured highlight the creative ways they teach different units and the teachers/administrators all just seem excited by what they’re teaching. It was a stark difference.[/quote]
