[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because my kids thrive in our public school which is - gasp! - downcounty. The range of programs, the STEM offerings, and the diversity of the school community (racial, ethnic, and SES) is not something any private school could match. And while I do sometimes envy the smaller class sizes of privates or the lush campuses - literally worlds apart from our DCs’ public schools - I think the benefits of public for my children far outweigh those things.

Lastly, to what another poster noted, to send all three of my kids through private would total big money and I’d rather use that money for other things. The ROI on private school isn’t there for us.[/quote]

You are wealthy and you live downcounty? [/quote]

Yup! [/quote]

What's wealthy? $3m net worth? $10m?[/quote]

We’re in the $8 M range excluding property and while we are not rich, we are wealthy. Or in the context of the topic of this thread, we can afford full freight for private schools but choose to send our children to public in MCPS - and in the DCC no less! 😃 [/quote]

Good stuff. You live in Silver Spring?[/quote]
