[quote=Anonymous]I have worked in private schools my entire career, and although my children could have easily attended the schools I have been at, I intentionally placed them in non-W ones. They are now in college and beyond and it 100% was the best decision. What they gained in their education reached beyond the classroom walls. Yes, they had fantastic (and not-so fantastic) teachers and classes, but they also had friends from all walks of life. Friends who had been homeless, friends who were first-generation immigrants, friends with well-known parents, friends with more money than I will ever understand. Their schools introduced them to the harshest realities of the world and the pinnacles of success. And now, my kids are thriving. They are easily navigating life.

I’m not saying this is how all public kids will be, but so many students from private school have a tough time because of the insular world that is created for them. They are lead to believe they have control over the world and that’s just not the case.

My one caveat has always been, if you have a child who needs an environment that is smaller, quieter, or provides extra focus/supports, go private. The publics just aren’t staffed to do it. Otherwise, open your mind. Your kids will be better for it.[/quote]
