[quote=Anonymous]Imagine you move to a new city.

Near your new house is a large farmers' market. There are some outstanding purveyors of fresh produce, grass-fed beef, etc. There are also a lot of mediocre purveyors. And the market is very crowded. Do you enjoy the challenge of sifting through the crowds, finding the best products, then taking them home and cooking yourself a delicious gourmet meal, all for a very reasonable price?

Or, do you go to the outstanding restaurant near your house? The service is excellent, the cuisine impeccable. Do you not mind spending a lot of money because the end product is so delicious and didn't require you to do anything but show up?

My point is, you can have an excellent experience in public school. But it will require a lot more effort, and overcoming of obstacles (inconsistent teachers, class sizes). At a top private, you can be confident of just walking in the door and having an excellent experience. But you will pay dearly for that privilege. Which is worth more to you?[/quote]
