[quote=Anonymous]Im one of those million dollar house people (with no mortgage btw) who still would not send her kids to private elementary school because I dont think the value analysis works. We have researched public schools as well and DCs got to a top NOVA public school I toured the private and publics in my area and think that the cost differential is not justified. It is well documented that in the early years at least, the home environment is 3 times a bigger predictor of academic achievement than school. DH and I are both from top unis, high earners (I used to be now SAH) and high achievers. I really dont see the value that private school confers from K - 5 in our case. I will revisit this in middle school and high school and if my DCs have trouble in their public school. But this blanket view of private being always better than public is flawed. [/quote]
