[quote=Anonymous]I get it.  We moved to what we thought was a "good" school district and sent our oldest to public elementary.  We were very disappointed.  Some of the problems were school and teacher specific, but others were at the district level.  We switched him to a lovely private elementary.  Now, fast forward a few years, and we have three at that private school and we just completed the US application process for the oldest. Kid got into a fine US that I think he will enjoy, but is not any better than a good public school.

We are looking at almost $2M more dollars for private school before the youngest is finished.  We can afford this, but it kind of seems crazy.  We definitely can't go back to the public where we live - it has declined even further since we left and many of our neighbors are trying to leave now.  I want to move out-of-state to a place with better public schools, but starting everything over seems daunting.  We have a great house and many friends. We both have jobs we love.  But, both our jobs are portable, so we could move without a huge loss of income.  It seems like a lot to give up to save the tuition and the schools are very nice.  Just, not the path we planned on and inertia is hard to fight against. [/quote]
