Our Schooling System did not really work for me. I was without a doubt one of the smartest kids in all of my grade school classes, but a was rarely interested and made no effort to get good grades until grade 12 when I was trying to bolster my transcripts for university.
My kids are both under 4 years old right now, and I have started looking into any options for them that will not include regular public schools in the 2016/17 year. I think regardless of the specialty of the school I will look for a place that is vary focused on project based work, group work, active learning.......... and gives lecturing/notes/practice assignments a much smaller role. I don't believe my kids will need the repetitive nature of our public schools to grasp concepts, and I don't want them to grow the indifference towards school that I had.
