[quote=Anonymous]I think I’ve seen it all over the years. Excellent public school, mediocre (loud, chaotic, crowded) public school, local private school and as of next year, boarding school. So far, I can say that private school (even the local one) has transformed DC’s lives. It is so worth it for the following reasons: these are transformative years - they are receiving an excellent education. In addition to learning facts (they learned those at public too), they are learning to think deeper, encouraged to participate on a more meaningful level; arts education can’t be compared. Public had no materials and the teachers didn’t care. They learn how to present themselves in front of adults (projects they present in front of parents, teachers). But most important: they actually teach, not just present materials. If a DC doesn’t know how, they show or explain. DC had top grades in public but was never taught. It remained a superficial experience. So IMO, every cent is worth it. I have no clue where they’ll go to college, but this education will serve them a lifetime.[/quote]
