[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think when people can afford it w/ no stress, they should pick private. If they can't afford it, they shouldn't sweat it or fret over it.

Of course, public school can provide a fine education. But, it is much harder for kids to stand out when there are 500 kids in their freshman grade or whatever. If you are well off why not spend the money now instead of willing it to him when you pass.[/quote]

On this point: I went to some of high school at a public and some at a private. At my public high school, there was one big theater production a year and about 30 kids worked on it (out of a class of 500). At my private high school, there was one big theater production a year and about 30 kids worked on it (out of a class of 60). Same thing with other activities: newspaper, sports, chorus, etc. I found that at my public school there just wasn't room in all the activities, sports, etc. for all the kids. At the private school, everyone was involved with sports, music, theater, etc.[/quote]
