I sent my daughter to private school for 2 years and it did a world of good, she begged me to send her back to pub because "she was born to go to public school " and the sixth grade teacher in pub is the best teacher I have ever met and I wanted my daughter to be in her class. But I dont regret sending her to private school it helped to get her on track. I think Ambers biggest problem with private school was the uniform, she loves to dress for school.
