[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is already very privileged and very coddled. I don’t want to send them to an environment where all day long they are essentially given the message that they are special just by virtue of being in a financially well-off family. Our public school is full of pretty well off kids, too, it’s true, but there will be more of a mix. A larger school like our public will also afford more options for electives and extracurriculars. Finally, while we can afford, it we are not billionaires and we would prefer to put that money either towards college, retirement, or a nest egg for our child when they are a young adult. I’m sure public school would be a nice experience in many ways, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the price.[/quote] We wouldn’t be able to send ours to our public HS if that was the criteria. Low diversity, HHI and parents up the teachers/admin ass about snowflake all of the time.[/quote]
