[quote=Anonymous]My DD was admitted into several independent schools including a few very competitive ones. For a variety of reasons, mostly financially driven, we are strongly leaning toward declining the acceptances and putting her in JKLM instead. I know this is ridiculous, but part of me feels guilty that I'm somehow depriving her of a fantastic opportunity to go to a top private school. When I attended the welcome events at the private schools, everyone was going on and on about how lucky their child was to get into X, Y school. Has anyone started out in private and then switched to public elementary, and can compare the two experiences? Will my child be missing out by going the public route? Have you seen benefits to a public education, compared to private? Help me assuage my guilt. [/quote]
