My daughter's schooling has been just fine so far. She's had great teachers and get's some challenging assignments. Some of the work has been too easy, but she happens to be a bright kid who is generally ahead of her class. Overall, I think everything has been just fine and she'll be well prepared for whatever college curriculum she eventually follows. And what happens at home is as important or even more important than what happens in the classroom. She reads constantly, and I'm talking about some serious reading, not just pre-teen fluff stuff.

Then, that's good. You're probably in a much better neighborhood than the type I fear. By "working class" I meant more blue collar type occupations as opposed to professional occupations. As long as you are happy with the school and what she gets out of it, that's what matters. I was just curious.
