[quote=Anonymous]Wow...my 2 kids are in private and I think that you are asking way too much of any school to instill "love to learning."  That is actually part of our jobs as parents and not the school.  Having said that, I grew up going to all sorts of schools (private and public) because my father moved abroad a frequently.  Anyway, I did private for high school here in DC and I'd say that you will run the entire spectrum....kids in public who are thriving and go to Ivies and then also entitled brats in private who end up dropping out or wasting their potential or "leg up."  Nothing shocking about that.  The private route is nice if you both work and one is not home to "supplement" what they may not be getting, you want more individualized attention, and you have more than one kid at home so your attention is divided.  But special ed kids (mild to mod) actually may you better in public because there is so much funding and extra support.  So just keep an open mind....plus if you are in the district, there are many charters that are doing REALLY well and on par with privates.[/quote]
