Any folks considering taking their kids out of private school in anticipation of layoffs?

You might want to ask on private school forum. There have definitely been people commenting on this as contracts are due soon.

If you are living that close to the edge, you shouldn't be in private school to begin with. My sister's kids are all in private school and she can't afford to buy blinds for her new house.

Your sister shouldn’t have bought a new house.

Window treatments are shockingly expensive! She just can’t buy the ones she wants.

Priorities differ. She might have her reasons. My neighbors don’t have blinds and live in a million dollar home. It is their preference.

The private school obsession of Americans lol. Your child will be okay in public school lol. They can get into a top 10 college don't worry. My twins went to Publix school and they are both at Stanford. Now of course you will agree all private schools are not created equal. That's true, ours wasn't the best. But I was my kids tutor and it worked out for us.

A million dollar home is a tear down in these parts.

The point of private isn’t to get into Stanford. It’s just a better well rounded experience k-12.

this!

we have money set aside so that no matter what happens to us financially our kids won’t be impacted. It’s CRAZY to have your kids in a school that depends on your employment.

Your sister shouldn’t have bought a new house.

And perhaps she should utilize the public schools available for no additional cost.

Never understood the concept of paying for private schools if you don't have the funds to do it (and still save for retirement and college and live a decent life)

But if you really cannot afford private school, your kids will have a much better life overall with public and you supplement as needed. 90%+ of your K-12 education comes from the attitudes presented at home---if education is valued, your kids will do well.
