5 extra days of outdoor recess for 60k. Makes sense. I guess that you are assuming that kids when they finish school they don’t go out or don’t play sports.

Agreed. I really appreciate things like no obstacles to playground use or bureaucracy around curriculum, but I think the most valuable benefit is having my kids be immersed in an environment of exclusively upper middle class and upper class families, with a few carefully selected lower class families that are palatable to us, just so the kids can get to know some diverse poors and feel good about it. We are blessed!

+1 this site is so weird, and the private school forum in particular.

+1. My kid walked 10 min to and from our local public elementary school today and then played outside with classmates/neighbors. And we didn’t have to pay 60k a year for the privilege.

And yet here you are monitoring the Private & Independent Schools thread. Must be either because you're really curious for your kids or because you're a troll. Which is it?

Let me educate you on how DCUM works. Many (most?) readers check out “recent posts” which contains threads from all forums with the most recent activity.

This is true. I only go to recent posts just to see what’s trending and leave. I don’t go to specific forums.

+1. This is what I do. I thought I could learn why private school is so great. But with this post, not so much.

So you care more about a short commute and your kid’s social life than their education.

You are out of touch

Those two things are very valuable and affect the child's quality of life just as much as "education."
