Does you send your child to private school.
What do you like about it?
What do you hate about it?

You can't generalize and say all public schools are that way!

I think that is one of the biggest negatives when it comes to private schools---typically those who are involved(and this isn't always the case nor is it with every volunteer), but they almsot see themselves as the elite and if you aren't in their "group" then humph!

Once you reach the middle school level, I don't belive that everyone should play a sport!

Foxymom... this was a question on what we liked and didn't like about our private schools and I think we've all been pretty straight forward on what we like and don't. Not if your public school was better. It's our opinion. I happen to like that my son has the opportunity to play sports at school. If you are so dead set against private schools why are you even replying and reading this thread?

I never ment to say that public schools are bad. In our state most of our public schools teach the one test that you have to take to get into the next school. Say middle school or high school or out of high school. I know public school is great for most kids. But you have to agree with me that there are a few kids that get lost in the cracks still. No school is perfect. No school will ever be perfect. Too many kids learn different ways. That is all I am saying. The school that we are at right not is okay. Minus some major faults. But I certainly can not complain since my kid is doing pretty well. I asked about private school because I am thinking about it and I wanted some input on what others have had experience on. thanks for the input. It has helped me alot in making my decission. Thats what i love about this board you get lots of input if you just ask.

That's how our school district is. People are always wavering their kids into our school district. It can be a drag.
