Subject: Reasons public schools is not good for your child?
Look, I am a foreigner whose child grew up in the US and goes to a 6 out of 10 public school. It's not the end of the world, let me tell you!
He gets a lot of free enrichment because the school has extra money to take care of the high needs population. He does get bored at times, but even the best schools have a pretty easy curriculum, in elementary I mean.
Just calm down and start at your local school. If it doesn't work out, start looking into options.
Yes the classes are too large, the program too easy, and too much emphasis on discipline. But it's ok.

Why is your DH super upset? Public schools work for a lot of children, most, really.

How old is your child? The pros/cons for public and private schools are different at elementary vs high school.

The classes are big. For one of my kids, that was fine. For one it was too overwhelming and she got lost in the shuffle.
