[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private during K-8 years is way more important than private during high school. For many kids, they intentionally want public high school. Most people think they have it figured out though by first applying to private for 9th grade. It is almost comical.[/quote] This is true for some and not true for some. You have to know what you are trying to get out of it and what your kid is like. It's not a black or white thing.[/quote] Read the book “Middle School Matters” or any other number of research articles—actually the research is pretty clear because there is brain maturity that happens in the middle years middle (10-14). Nothing is true of every kid, of course, but by and large investing in the foundational years if you have to choose is best [/quote]
