[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Trust funder here , we do public and they go on time. Frankly if they, with two educated parents and world travel and hugely varied experiences aren't "mature" enough for K, I've failed. Ironically its just such kids who are routinely redshirted.[/quote]

Pure arrogance.  I taught school.  There are plenty of great parents with immature kids.  I don't think you know the meaning of the term.

What do you expect? Started life on third base and thinks she hit a home run. [/quote]

Not at all. I find it a real challenge to balance the desire to give and the desire to make them earn, I want them to have work ethic and know how to personally succeed- just like you I’m sure! Money is a challenge and a blessing, but please don’t overlook the challenge part. To me, being born on third base (like most DCUM children are, frankly) and then steal home really feels wrong. Poor kids have to go to school to get services. Rich kids spend another year in expensive preschools and on vacations and in extracurriculars. I don’t know more or feel superior or anything because o money, but it does present me with a lot more options. The PP asked about private school and I was attempting to point out that some people actually do consider private an indulgent luxury for wealthy kids with every advantage.

My tone was wrong. Apologies.

As to immaturity I thought we were all redshirting because of hard math. 
Or wait no, because children come in different sizes and smaller kids need another year because they are small.
Or no wait is it immaturity? So, staying home with Mom matures more than a kid more than school would. Seems backwards,  but sure.[/quote]
