[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an elementary child who is perfectly happy and content at the local public. He has a lot of friends, is doing well in school and seems to be getting everything he needs from the local school. He attended a preschool that is a private school feeder so most of his former preschool classmates are attending various private schools in the DMV. We can easily afford private school. I can’t help but feel we are somehow hurting our child by sending him to public by not providing the best education we can give to him. He is the type of kid who would do well anywhere. He was very well liked in preschool and had is also well liked now in public. [b]Our preschool had children of famous parents.[/b] [/quote]

What does the last line have to do with anything?

I'm curious, what made you decide to go the public school route to begin with, since most of his preschool classmates went to private ones and money is not an issue? Has anything changed with that consideration?

My niece went to private k-12 b/c the publics in her area do not provide a good education. My best friend pulled her son out of private for public when he showed learning disabilities and the private is too small to offer meaningful help. The public school is actually better funded for students needing additional resources.

So it really depends.[/quote]
