[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really appreciate all of the people saying how awful private school is, the parents are terrible people and the children are a mess with no hope for successful futures.

My kids are applying to a few very selective private schools for next year and the competition to get in is fierce.  If you could help convince the rest of the applicant pool that we’re all idiots for wasting $50k per year I’d be grateful.[/quote]

If you want the Ivies and are applying for high school, private school might deliver. For elementary, it’s almost always a waste of money, but you do you.[/quote]

It’s important to me to send my kids to a small single sex school that fits with my religious values, why would private be a waste of money? I understand that they could be reading the exact same books in my local public school but I am mostly concerned with the different daily experience. [/quote]

But this isn’t about you and your religious values. The OP was asking about academics for his or her gifted 4th grader. Pound for pound most private schools are not worth it academically compared to excellent public schools particularly magnets.[/quote]

So why do you think so many families chose to go that route? They all have bad info?[/quote]
