Good question. I am willing to drive, but if we pay for private, then there will be less money down the road for college. Plus, I have other children - would they be entitled to a private school education too? It raises lots of questions I don't have answers to.

On private for one vs. private for all.  Our commitment is that each child gets what they need, which is not the same as saying they get the exact same thing nor is the same as saying they all get what they want.  We treat our children equally when we meet each one's individual needs, not when we treat them identically.  If one child needed a wheelchair, would you let all your kids ride around in wheelchairs?

Private vs. college is a harder Q.  In our case, we felt like if we didn't spend for private our child would never make it to college.  But, that is because we came to realize that MCPS could not or would not provide the necessary instruction in any setting.   In retrospect, we could have spent the same amount of money or less on specialized tutors, but that would have required more management and oversight by a parent.
