Everything that you mentioned rings true. My point is that you can get a good education or a bad education in a public or private school setting.

Parents MUST be involved at whatever level they can.

I guess I should have mentioned that one of the reasons my child was placed on “Restrictive Communication” is because other students asked her to ask questions for them. The solution may not be ideal, but it is an option.

Thank you for your feedback

In addition, attending school is not one dimensional. The experiences a child has in school can be very influential. One environment may encourage learning and discussion whereas, the other may be very passive with the propensity to just push your child along. When I attended college, I wrote a paper entitled, “I Learned, I Just Didn’t Learn That.” Sadly, the “that” were the basic elements of English and Math. Teaching methods have evolved over the years, how do parents, most of whom are in survival mode, keep up to be able to help their children? In addition, some children do not want to be “the constant hand-raiser” to ask questions because of peer pressure and the teacher doesn’t have “office hours;” what are the alternatives for parents and their children?
