[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no good public schools.  Zero.  The teaching is subpar and the curriculum is garbage.  The only thing that differentiates a good public school from a bad one on paper is the parents behind those kids supplementing, reading to their kids, teaching them at home and their own parents education level that filers through to their children’s everyday life experiences.  Elementary is the building blocks for future education and learning.  The elementary years are the years that are most important for success late on.  Send to a good private (there are a lot of mediocre privates). Later middle and high school is a possibility where public schools can make sense due to may options for accelerating: dual enrollment, AP, special programs. [/quote]

I wouldn't say ZERO. There must be some, and even within schools that aren't great, there are still veteran teachers who are doing things the old fashioned way (or new teachers using old school methods). I would also like to know where are you getting the elementary school = private, later years = public. What is your experience, where did/do your kids go, and what are the outcomes (not necessarily talking college outcomes, but interested in those too)you have seen?[/quote]
