Exactly - you don't know what was the difference - nor do I. But I doubt it was because they went to a private middle school.

What you do with your children's education is a personal choice and I have come to find out not all private schools would work for my kids and not all public schools would work for my kid - even if it works for yours.

If you can pick the one that is the best for them personally then great. Don't you think you determine their bubble - not their school - their schools is not their whole life.

Some private schools are culturally diverse and some are not. Some public schools are culturally diverse and some are not. We chose lower housing cost and private school - but that is because we like our neighborhood and the private school is the best school for my son's learning style.

I find it interesting that this thread can make some blanket assumptions about boys that are 11, 12 and 13 years old based on 1 choice in their life - their middle school.

A year ago my son basically judged a kid on how well they can throw the football. (Race/religion/wealth not even on the radar) Now he realizes kids are cool even if they can't throw a football - for me that is progress. These kids are just 11 years old. It's like they are all going to grow up to be a bunch of arrogant bigots because of their middle school.

That seems a little narrowly focused.[/quote]
