[quote=Anonymous]21:36, you're absolutely right.  It's a matter of how many families are able to note that their kids will still be able to ride the wave in another community, whether it's in Mo. Co. or Shanghai.  In my experience, as in my kids, when they start coming home hating school, frustrated or bored it's not necessarily "hormones" in grades 5, 6, 7 or 8.  It's where they hit the public school ceiling if it happens while they're in the top performing groups, if your public actually differentiates well.  Other kids who don't complain, like school and their teachers, and have friends and are still challenged, parents can feel fine that they stay where they are meeting state test requirements and feeling secure before pushing beyond what they're able.  The flip side, mine who transferred to private after many public years see that there are plenty of kids in private who have been coddled and would never make "advanced" on DC CAS.  It's all where your individual kids are at, but don't rule out privates taking your $$ and not offering any more than better support and smaller classes.[/quote]
