[quote=Anonymous]Switched both DCs to private after subpar experience in our supposedly amazing public. It’s a stretch for us financially, but I know it’s the right choice for our family. The teachers know my kids, they know us, the schools are responsive when a policy needs tweaking (extremely important during covid), my kids have athletic opportunities they would not have had at public, they are challenged AND supported academically. The schools aren’t perfect, but they are genuinely invested in my children’s growth in a way our “amazing” public was not. We have a lot of friends still in public—many of whom have more money than we do—so I hear a lot about what’s happening at their schools and I am confident that it would not work for our family. You have to be realistic when looking at privates though because if you go into expecting private to be perfect, a parenting surrogate, or a guaranteed path to an Ivy League school, you will be disappointed.[/quote]
