“If you go along with their cookie cutter one size fits all rules they won’t pull your funding.
Public schools take a kid, say for example in fifth grade, that has fallen behind. Instead of working with them individually to bring them back up to level.
They throw him or her into a great big room and play “educational” games and work at a first grade level.”
Well the private and parochial schools just kick them out. You obviously don’t have a clue about what a good public school system is about. Must live in either a very Catholic or Union city.

Interesting that you would say that.
I was at a first grade reading level in 6th grade.
Had it not been for a teacher, in a private SDA school, who took me aside and gave me individual instruction I would have fallen so far behind it would be hopeless.
While I still have some difficulties I owe any reading or writing abilities to that one teacher.
In public school that had reading packets with the answers upside down at the end of the reading assignment.
I am certain that almost every student that fell behind simply cheated.
The worst thing you can do in public school is fall behind. Because its virtually impossible to catch back up.
