[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always been a proponent of public education, but now that I have to means and opportunity to send my child to a top tier private school, I am changing my tune.
I toured a school today and my world has really been rocked. I just had no idea, it’s a completely different planet. Anyone else experience this? We just left the DC area. It is obviously a nationally recognized school, but not one of the schools discussed here. 
For a bit of perspective, my family was zoned to public school with a very low “ score”  in a much maligned close in part of Va before we left.
The public schools in our new commmnity are very well regarded. I never thought I would consider private. 
Now I can’t unsee this.[/quote]

The facilities and the impressive curriculum aren't everything. My brother went from a top DC area public to a top DC area private and while the DC area private was beautiful and the students were nice he told me he felt like he was suffocating. There was no diversity, difference in world views and approaches. He did end up at HYP so maybe it was worth it.[/quote]
