[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As PP said, core instruction isn't necessarily better than in good publics. You are paying for manicured grounds, extensive athletic facilities, plush seating in the library and the connections you might or might not make with influential families. [/quote] I don't think that's true. You are also getting: - much smaller class sizes (10-15 v. 23-26) - disruptive kids kept out- this is huge in my opinion - more consistent quality for teachers- many public school teachers are great, but others are not; we have only seen high quality in private - no/less standardized testing If you aren't getting these things from your private, then I would question whether the cost is worth it.[/quote]
