[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are too young to know what kind of students they will be in high school.  However, I do know that what I want for their pre-college education is lots of experiences in a variety of subjects (including art, music, etc.), the development of good work/study habits, and a love of learning.  They are at a rigorous academic school right now, and one thing for which we will watch is whether their schools become too much of a pressure cooker at some point.  If it does, we will make a change.  Based on where things stand currently, it likely would not be a public school, but who knows where school budgets and classes in things like the arts will be at that point?

When it comes to college placement, I want them to go to the colleges that best suit them depending on their interests at that time.  I don't care if it is a top 25 school - and I went to one.[/quote]

Where are people getting the idea that public schools do not teach art, music, work/study habits and instill a love of learning? My public schools did; my kids' public school does. Which ones don't?[/quote]

The highly-rated public I went to, for one... I'm sure many people fare better, but my experience at a "great" public school made me willing to shell out large amounts of money for my kid to have a different education. [/quote]
