We started our DS 10 in 5th grade in a private school this year. So far it is wonderful, just a few snags we ironed out. It is a school for gifted kids and they are pretty serious about their responsibilities.

Our story is not unlike many here. We just thought the risk was to high to trust the public schools. They did a wonderful job with us for the first 3 years. They subject accelerated 2 years ahead. But they ran out of resources. They were all for skipping grades, subject acceleration, compacting, but that is not always the answer.

So for my DS and for now I do not feel good about the public education system in our area.

I bought 4 years with the private school. I can take a breath for now. I hope.
