I'm not shy about saying that US public schools are failing our children --- by that, I mean ALL children, not just the 2% at the top of the IQ tests.(/quote]

I agree that there are issues in public schools, what I take issue with is the idea that private schools are the Mecca of education.

I realize that I should be a proponent for all childrden GT or not in US schools but my reality is that I am full and totally commited to my children. If my children can get what they need educationally and their scores reflect their ability then they are in a good place. It has very little to do with how the school is doing as a whole, but how the parent, child and school work together for the benefit of the child.
