一位家長的留言：（三孩子，兩個私校，一個公立）

We have had three girls go through kindergarten, and two went to private school (a very NICE private school, one that embraces everyone, talks a lot about community, and so on). Our experience is that the kids are, in general, a lot nicer in public schools. Although our private school classrooms were very small, they were also very limiting, not very many friends to chose from, and little done by teachers to address early on the bullying or just mean behavior of kids.
After our third daughter went through kindergarten, we switched to public and have been thrilled! Kindness and inclusion are discussed daily (not just when a problem arises), and the kids really are part of a community of caring and supportive peers. There is also huge diversity in public, and my girls are learning to accept and honor all kinds of people.

If I could do it over again, I would never choose private over public. Instead, I would choose public, and if any problems arose or if it was not a good fit, I could then switch to private. I feel that I did my girls a huge disservice--academically, socially, and morally--by sending them to a rich private school that in the end was a huge disappointment. Happy public school family!
