Thanks, everyone for your thoughts. I appreciate it.
I spent a fair amount of time at the parochial school today talking with the teacher. Also, spoke with the principal at the public school (they won't let you talk to the teacher).
I'm opting for the parochial school. My gut tells me the "differential" at the public school is nothing more than that assigning kids to levels in reading and math. The parochial teacher has more flexibility and interest it seems in genuinely meeting him where he is at.
Also, I think at this age there is alot of value to a loving, nurturing environment with more playtime and time spent outside.
Hopefully I made the right choice.... Just want the kiddo to be happy.
THANKS!!!
