[quote=Anonymous]This is probably a dumb response as my first child is only entering PK3 this year but we did put thought into public vs. private and and this point did not feel the cost of private makes much sense. My son has been in a private preschool that we love but will transition to our inbounds ward 5 public for free pk3 this fall. Do we think staying at his current private preschool would be "better" for him? Yes, we do, for a number of reasons including that he is shy and reserved and risk averse and the private school is small and knows him well and the way they do things is working well for him. However, I do not think my kid needs to always have the best option available to him. He needs a good enough option, an option that will work for him. But he doesn't need the 100% best at all times. Certianly not when we are talking about paying 20-30k a year for a 3 year old. Good enough is good enough. If he runs into problems down the line and needs a different school, whether that is in 4th grade, middle school, high school, whatever, I would rather have saved that money now so its available then. He is seemingly nuerotypical so far, has two parents who care about him at home, and isn't experiencing poverty. We have no reason to think he won't do great in public school. [/quote]
