Imagine paying $45-50k a year for private high school and your kids end up attending these mediocre no-name colleges, lmao.[/quote]

Right!  Just go to public school and save $$$

For some families, it’s about the journey not the destination.  For us, private was a better fit for our kids and their learning styles (one LD and one “gifted” and an incredibly creative thinker).  Had my kids been less of outliers, our public would have been fine.  We tried public and switched during middle school.  I’m not anti-public school at all but it is less flexible than private and focuses more on testing.  For us, it was not about college placement.  My super bright kid happens to be the opposite of type A and did not want a school filled with competitive kids so most of the usual suspects were off the table.  The one with LDs needed something different.  People choose private for different reasons.  To many, ithas a value that far exceeds college placement.[/quote]
