[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is useless to generalize. I think you need to only compare the actual public and private schools you are considering.

My kid was in a “good” public middle school where DC was assigned three books total to read in all of DC’s three years there. DC didn’t write anything longer than two paragraphs the entire time. DC was supposedly in a top math class but barely tested into regular math in private high school. DC also reported kids were vaping in class when the teachers turned their backs. We moved the younger kids to private for middle school.

So in our case, no, the private school was far better. But that’s only the difference between the two schools my kids have experience with. I’m sure there are better public schools. I wish my kid could have attended one! [/quote]

Yes, all of this. The question is really about your specific kids and your specific school options. I have quiet, well behaved girls who were generally ignored in our good public school but are drawn out in a smaller private all girls environment. I don’t think that all private schools are better than public or that I would choose this school for any girl, but I think we’re making the best choice for our particular kids at this time. I never bash our local public school either, I think it meets most of my neighbors needs well I just wanted something different for my girls.[/quote]
