[quote=Anonymous]I recommend visiting the Private/Independent School forum, instead of the Money and Finances forum.

It seems like half of the threads on that forum are about whether private schools are worth the cost.  Just search for the terms "tuition" and "worth" and you'll find many threads

Example:

The upshot to me seemed to be that, among adults who are now parents, those who attended private schools themselves seem more likely to send their own children to public.  They either remember it being stressful for their parents, or they remember feeling like an outsider because they were less wealthy.

Some people make huge financial sacrifices to send their kids to private.

As absurd as it sounds, even with an HHI of $375,000 (assuming two full-time workers), it is a stretch to pay tuition for 2 kids ($80,000 per year), or $8000 per month for the 10-month plan.  I speak from personal experience when I say this.  Every day, I question whether it's worth it.[/quote]
