[quote=Anonymous]I have two in high school that have been in private school since PK.  Yes, it’s been a financial strain and, yes, that has caused stress for us.  However, I believe it’s been worth every penny and would do the same thing again without hesitation.

My kids have teachers who know them well and my kids feel inspired by them.  They are surrounded by kind, high-achieving, well-rounded kids.  They’ve had athletic and EC opportunities they wouldn’t have had otherwise.  They do tons of writing, give many presentations and have been taught to think critically rather than just think for a test.  I recall a moment in middle school when my ADHD child told me how it wasn’t hard paying attention in class because it felt like a discussion rather than a lecture, which he would have tuned out.

My kids were not exposed to kids who did drugs or had sex in middle school, which kept them innocent a bit longer.  We have some neighborhood kids who attend a highly rated public school and would talk about fights and the drugs and used condoms in the bathroom- my kids were horrified by this.

Other than the cost, I can’t think of one drawback to my kids’ educational experience.[/quote]
