[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Read a million of posts like this in the independent school forum. So many reasons to go private. If you are thinking the only benefit is a leg up for college, stay public, unless you are legacy to a top school your kid won't benefit in the college game. Smaller class sizes Better students - families more focused on education More resources More direct attention to your kid Tailored learning programs Better coaching (my kid is an artist and they brought resources from outside school to develop her talent) Engaged teachers Better parent community Character development Social development More nurturing environment More community events And on and on and on Lots of folks on this forum are only focused on college placement - these are not private school suitable families [/quote] When you pay $50k/year for private school tuition, you think of all sorts of justifications/rationalizations for why it's worth it. Case in point. SMH[/quote]
