[quote=Anonymous]Between the parents who think that they need to redshirt for private K and the parents who complain that private school elementary is not challenging enough, are the administrators and teachers who have to deal with the parents who complain that the school is not run in the way that best suits their particular child.

If you don't trust the school, for which you are shelling out $30K/year/child, to do what is best for your child; or if you think that public magnet schools are doing a better, job; why don't you place your child in the better alternative?

I'm paying the tuition that I do because I believe that the school and its teachers are doing/will continue to do an excellent job of educating children, including mine. I accept that there are going to be great years and not-so-great years. I don't think that my observations as a parent and a few articles that I read online trump the experience of two decades in the elementary school classroom. If I have concerns, I voice them to the teachers; and they are very responsive. I don't have the hubris to suggest major curriculum changes based upon the needs of my children alone and some gossip that I hear about ERB scores.
