[quote=Anonymous]MoCo has many good public schools as well as many good private schools.  What's right for each family is a function of their own circumstances and judgments.

We initially assumed we would attend public schools, and would move from a not-so-good district to a good one when that time came.  Then we hit pre-school and our child was identified as having an unusual learning profile that the school was poorly equipped to handle (very strong in some areas, but gaps in some others).  We also found in various extracurricular classes that teaching methods developed for the average kid just weren't optimal for us.

We found that we needed both small class sizes as well as a high degree of individualization to permit our child to be challenged in some areas while getting extra help in others.  That road led us to private.

Like a lot of things in life, where you end up isn't always where you initially plan to go.  Families make decisions according to the best information they have at the moment, and life doesn't always follow the preconceived plan.[/quote]
