My kid went to private school up thru 5th grade. I made the mistake of letting him go to public school for 6th grade and half of 7th grade, and then pulled him back out of public schools. Wont be making that mistake again. His second half of 7th grade and first half of 8th grade have been his best yet. |
I'm the product of Nevada public schools. I'd like to think I turned out alright, and have a fairly good education under my belt. Likewise, I've had friends that were forever in the private school system, and they have had a rough go of it.
The school system may be broken in many aspects, but it still works for many if the parents are involved, and if the children are motivated. I'm not saying your choice to go private is better or worse...I'm just saying that what works for some, doesn't work for all. Obviously the public school system failed your child, so you did what any good parent would.
