Is she happy? Don't put your issues on her. If she is happy and thriving be grateful and leave her there. They will have the resources and attention you or she may someday need.

I think it is more important to go to private later (for us) not necessarily in k-3. I think that going to public may build self confidence better and navigation around social issue without mom and dad around. This is not a dig at the school I am in

What are you talking about? Being in private definitely prepares you for an UMC life. Do you think she will be hanging out with plumbers and dayworkers all the time? I grew up in they lifestyle, so have no dig against them, but once you go away to a decent college your life is pretty isolated in careers and neighborhoods (safe, good schools etc). If anything a private will expose her to the competition she will have in college admissions and job market — better to know now how to succeed.

Ding ding ding. The truth.
