[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me so happy my kids don't go to private school. Everyone is justifying spending all that $$ to ensure that their kids make a lot of money and are in the right social class. Those values are not my values so I am extremely glad my kids aren't a part of it. [/quote]

Those aren’t the reasons we sent our kid to private.  We don’t even look at report card. [/quote]

This. We were both lost amid huge public schools. I was a high school valedictorian, but I was never diagnosed with ADHD because I was able to do the work. I fell apart when I got to college (yes, an Ivy for those judging.)

The progressive school we chose is teaching kids so more than academics, which are top notch. [/quote]

My ADHD (and later diagnosed as ASD) kid tried Potomac Summer School Camp to get a feel for what it might be like to go to a private instead of a public and it wasn't pretty.  I recognize that the staff for the camp is different but the fact that my kid couldn't handle the stress of a summer camp at the private suggested to me that we'd never be able to make it at one of these higher tier privates during the regular school year.  We have the money to send our kid to one of these schools, but none that we've seen would be a better fit than the public we have.

I went to a private as a (scholarship) kid and there were no minorities there.  Now there are privates with no kids on the spectrum.  That was all people knew to do at the time I guess.  [/quote]
