[quote=Anonymous]Just went through this last year for DS. The question isn't "private v public" - there are far too many variables. The question is "of the school choices available to my child which one would be the best for my child." We toured, interviewed, talked to current and past parents and some students at four schools - our local public, the private where DS was last year, and two other privates. Almost all of our concerns about public were unfounded. Some of the assumed benefits of the privates weren't really there or were easily replaceable. Half way through the year at our local public and he is absolutely thriving. Happier than he's even been at school, learning a ton, and it's so great to be part of our neighborhood school community. But that's all based on my individual kid and the options available within our commuting and financial reach. Your decision needs to be based on the actual choices you have, not some philosophical agenda[/quote]
