[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are not wealthy, but are comfortable and could afford private if needed. We got into a great charter school and go there. It's outstanding. That said, we make sizable donations to the school to help (since we are getting free education). [/quote]

This is my situation also.  The charter is a much better for for my family than any of the privates in this area.  My relatives' children are spread amongst the elite DC privates, and I feel that the education that our children is getting is about equivalent, although the focus is on different areas.  I supplement differently than I would at a private.  If we were at a private, I would feel the need to push for exposure to socio-economic diversity, but that comes naturally between the school and our lifestyle.  On the other hand, i am pleased that my children have at least a little exposure to more formal events and places so that they will know the proper behaviors for those settings.  It is all a balance, and for me, I much prefer the norm to be more open and welcoming.[/quote]
