[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just another symptom of the competitiveness of the area and the guilt and insecurity of the parents.  It's sad, really.[/quote]

If you are rich, why not do private?  Give your kids every advantage you can.  [/quote]

Because what I have learned is that private is not always better. It has not proven to be an advantage at all.  [/quote]
By what metric do you say it’s no advantage at all? Are you assuming that everyone gauges the advantages by the same metric? Our student is much more engaged academically, is more calm, and socially confident in private school than she was in public. The advantage for her mental health is enormous.[/quote]

My metrics are not based on the generalities you stated. No, not all gauges advantages by the same metric, however, academics would be up there. My child’s school is not providing any writing instruction and has other deficiencies that they were not truthful about. As I said, I had the fortunate or unfortunate opportunity to witness this first hand. Am I getting what I paid for? Definitely not and has not proven to be an advantage. Mental health has not been an issue in public or private, so I wouldn’t say that has been an advantage at private for my child. If anything, it has been a disadvantage because homework load is very heavy and school lacks a balance in that regard.
