[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The short version is I used to be a public school teacher. If I thought I weren’t getting my money’s worth, I wouldn’t do it. [/quote]

This. Some of the best teachers at my kids’ private left public school for private to focus on things that have been sacrificed by public..such as essay writing and tests with open ended questions [/quote]

lol sure...
private schools pay less than public schools. I don't buy it.[/quote]
They offer one very lucrative benefit that public cannot match, tuition remission. [/quote]

I work in a private and I’m part of a rather large group who transferred from public schools. Yes, the salary is slightly lower and I am no longer contributing to a pension. The gains I made in job satisfaction, however, are worth it. My current mentee is also a former public school teacher. [/quote]

I wonder if you believe the $30000 plus and up tuition is justified. Not from what I saw on virtual at my child’s respected private. [/quote]

I’m the PP. Yes, I absolutely believe the tuition is justified. I send my own child to this school, so I see its value as both a parent and a teacher. (I do not receive a discount.) The level of instruction and the professionalism of the staff are both dramatically better than the public school in which I used to teach. Here’s the catch, though: I think *this* private school is worth it. I can’t claim that *all* are. Schools are so dramatically different. [/quote]
