I wish I'd spent more time in the classroom when DD was in her first school in K and 1 (this was very hard, though, bc I had a young toddler then who was not allowed to come). It would have given me a slightly better sense of exactly how bad or not bad things were. I also wish I'd tried harder to get her more in-class acceleration.
I sometimes slightly regret our school switch. Though overall I think the quality of education is much better, I feel the pressure on DD and the amount of HW are really excessive. Maybe if I'd advocated for her better, she would have been able to remain at school 1. They just completely stonewalled me, though, and I have no idea why.
