I'm a public school teacher (7th grade Math) but I'm also the parent of a 9 yo 5th grade gifted child (as such, I'm always going to work to find the best school setting for my child) so my reason for asking this question is two fold.

If you home school your child, send your child to a charter school, or send your child to a private school: where do you send them and what are your reasons for choosing this educational environment for your child instead of public schools?

My school system has noticed a good number of parents choosing charter schools (especially in one area of my county) over public schools and they're trying to figure out some specifics as to why parents choose a different educational setting for their children.

I've got my own opinions that I've voiced to my administration but I'd love to get some feedback from others.

Thanks for any helpful feedback you can give!
