As some of you know, our son used to attend a public charter school that moved kids up or down according to level. (You can see my previous post about why we left that school.)

DS has been attending the local public (spa)...school for the last four-ish months and I can safely say it's been like summer camp for him. He's learned a lot of recorder music, P.E. games and how not to get his head squished like a nut in a cracker by the "he's never had any problems with social issues" kid.

So, my DH and I are looking for a school for next year.

We went to a local private school and met with the admissions officer and took a tour. Very nice tour. I asked a lot of questions and the officer answered a lot of questions with political aplomb.

Long story short, we went to the open house and were underwhelmed by the teachers he would have and the books, etc. he would be using.

Is this really worth $8,000 a year?

NOT!

I'm really disgusted by what is passed off as a "rigorous" education.

So, my "off-the-cuff" plan is to let DS continue in the "spa school" and get to the real learning during the summer when we are home together.

I'm so tired.
