[quote=Anonymous]I mean, there’s no way of knowing whether a given kid would’ve done better at a public school, or vice versa, because you obviously can’t run the alternate scenario.

All any of us can do is talk about our own personal experiences.

That said: I went to public school for K-8 and then private school for high school. I felt exceptionally well prepared for college. Honestly, college was easy, so maybe I was over-prepared for it.

DH went to public school for K-12, college, and grad school.

He and I have both found success in our chosen careers.

There are some differences between our educations that we’ve picked up on. It doesn’t mean my HS education was better than his; it was simply different. It was what was right for me. That doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. My high school was a pressure cooker and, like other pressure cooker schools, some kids thrive in it and some kids really don’t. That doesn’t mean those kids have deficiencies or something; it simply means they need a different environment, and that’s fine. [/quote]
