[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the responders and public schools are imploding. This simply is not true. We have one in private and one in public. Our public kid is actually doing better and less stressed then our private. He got into a top 20 university and is it out going, funny, smart and has a great group of friends. He played ultimate frisbee, school newspaper,participated in a Jackson Reed a Academy. There was one semester that he really had to get support from his counselor to get the classes organized the way he wanted them to be. He took APs off the and is awesome.He couldn’t be more happy from his experience.
Also  this year’s Princeton Pine award went to a Jackson Reed graduate who graduated four years ago. My private school kid is also doing fine and well the experience is different there’s ways to feel successful in both. You all act like public schools are horrible. Have you ever stepped foot in one? Or sat in the classroom?[/quote]

I'm so happy public has worked out well for your child. But please remember that most people here are talking about general trends and it's hard to quantify behavior issues, but the data about test scores dropping and teacher shortages don't lie. There are obviously differences between schools. Unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience with public schools, which is why we are switching along with so many other parents who were once happy with public. [/quote]
 NP. I really hope that private works out for you but go in with your eyes open to reality that there are a lot of issues at many privates too. Different issues, but issues none the less. Best of luck to you.[/quote]
