[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids switched from public to private this year and all I can say is the first couple of weeks in private are nothing like DCPS. They had 23 kids with a teacher plus aide in public, including a few kids who needed a lot of special help, they now have 12 kids and 2 full time teachers. They have PE plus recess every day now. They have several other fun specials that they tell us about every day as soon as we pick them up. But mostly they already feel special there, the teachers are so welcoming and warm which means a lot for young elementary kids. It's a huge financial commitment but I'm thrilled with the change.[/quote]

Other than the class size, everything you describe is happening in my kindergartners public school.[/quote]

This is such a dumb observation. "Other than class size?!" That's the whole point, the class size is what is driving the joy and warmth in a private K. It's like saying other than missing an engine and being rusty, this 20 year old Toyota is the same as a 2016 bmw. [/quote]

Disagree.  I think the below, as you wrote so you clearly agree, are also very important.  There are 20 kids in my K'ers class - joy and warmth are about the teacher and the combo of kids, not size alone.
