I believe it. Public schools don't teach kids to think. They don't offer individual help, for those behind and for those who are ahead who need more of a challenge. It's a one size fits all clusterf##k.

My oldest was soooo bored in school. It didn't challenge her at all. She scored in the 90th percentile in all her testing and wanted to be challenged.

Now she goes to a private school, she loves it, she gets challenged. She is actually learning and progressing at a rate more specific to her.

Public school = indoctrinating babysitting.
