Really, truly...if you want perfectly individualized education, you are going to have to homeschool. Period. And my hat goes off to those who do just that. They really are creating an optimal academic situation. Any group setting, even one within an HG school, will require some degree of compromise, as the needs of two kids are rarely alike. Even in my own house, with just three children, I find it hard to "be all" to each of them simultaneously.
Parents who home school their kids into selective colleges are remarkable! I am not nearly that talented, so I opt to drive my kids to their best-fit schools instead.
I just attended the open house for my daughter�s high school last night and am (again) thoroughly impressed by how each one of her teachers are so highly qualified and dedicated to working as a team in training their students to think critically and logically.
My kids have been fortunate to have several excellent teachers all through their PreK-middle school. Like any career, there will be individuals with different competencies, motivations and personalities. We too are extremely grateful to all those who exemplify the professional teacher which includes all those who comes here for earnest discussion.
