[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can afford private and am open to it but have chosen to keep my kids in W cluster public. I love our neighborhood and my kids have tons of friends who share their school experience, activities, sports. It would be hard to take them away from that. Each kid has found programs in public that support their interests--arts, sports, stem. My impression of many local privates over the years is that they have been havens for kids who needed more support than public can give, whether for social, emotional, or behavioral reasons, or post covid learning loss or smaller class sizes generally. I'm all for those resources if a kid needs but it has made private generally seem less desirable.[b] I'm also concerned that most privates would be too small and stifling for my kids[/b].[/quote]
yea, my kids would hate the small peer groups.[/quote]

Especially if your kids are behind academically and socially due to COVID public school closures. A smaller environment of highly educated, socially adept and more cultured peers would be intimidating and may affect your public school kid’s ability to adjust. [/quote]

What constitutes a “highly educated” high schooler these days? [b]Or a “cultured” one for that matter? [/b]Your posts are making the case for avoiding private schools.[/quote]

Lots of yogurt?[/quote]
at least their guts would be healthy[/quote]
