[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's about money but also exposing kids to the real world in a controlled situation.

I am worth millions, personally, but it's in assets, not income. My income is actually quite low. I never wanted to spend my capital on private school, but I was prepared to spend a small portion of it on a house in a wealthy school cluster, since after my kids are done with school, I still have real estate. I have one kid with special needs and one without. For my kid with SN, I feel that our W public with services and accommodations + close parenting + tutoring and therapies has been the optimal solution. The one without is gifted and would have thrived in any school.

I'm also a product of reputable private schools, and getting out of that bubble into the real world was quite an experience. I'd rather my kids go to a wealthy public where they have gentle exposure to actual Life.

Neither W schools nor private schools are anything close to the real world.[/quote]

Then you live in a bubble. Public school has its share of real world struggles that are very rare in expensive privates. Even in Bethesda/Potomac/Chevy Chase.

It still isn’t anything like the real world. I went to public school in a wealthy area and am under no delusions that it’s not a bubble. [/quote]
