One of the hardest things that we have to work hardest to counter-act with our twins, who attend PS, is the socialization they pick up at school.
There is an easy solution to that problem, it's called home school. :)
Really there is no 'Correct' solution some students function better in Public Schools, some in private and others in home. I know of success stories and failures in each. I had a couple of friends who were in home school during their Freshman and Sophomore year in highschool but then decided to go back to public school, they were so far behind it wasn't funny...any ways, one droped out and then other is just now getting back in the "groove" of things (he is a junior). I guess the choice of schools is up to the individual, personally I am a student of a Public school, Enloe High, and truely hate it, I would perfer being in a private school but, I do not have that kind of money to spend, sure I could go to a cheep private school and not have the advantages of the people in public schools which (strangely) have more money. I could also do home school but my parents would drive me insane . But I totally disagree with the posts saying public school students become drug dealers, NONE, of my friends do drugs, drink, smoke, etc... Most students turn out to be functional members of society, with a few odd balls ruining the reputation of the public school system... Thats just my two cents..... Brent
