[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This type of thread is always very triggering to parents who want to pretend they could afford private school but in reality it’s out of reach ($100k/year in post tax dollars for two kids is really tough even for UMC families!), so they spin us all a yarn about why actually public is the exact same or better and it’s not really about the money.

I don’t understand why you won’t just admit to yourself and us that you actually CAN’T afford it, and that’s the real reason. Not math at Wootton or whatever TF you’re trying to convince us of. [/quote]

And I don’t understand why private school parents can’t admit that the education they’re kids are getting isn’t superior to public school?  I had my kid in private (clearly can afford it), moved them to public, and they are doing very well.

I don’t care where people send their kids to school. But it raises my BP when people trash public and claim they care more about their kids education by sending the to private. You can tell yourself that to justify the cost, but it’s simply not true. [/quote]

Like most things, not all private schools are the same.

But to act as though private school is no better than public because that wasn’t your personal experience is laughable.

My kid barely learned a thing in kindergarten in MCPS. Her reading was WORSE at the end of the year than it was at the beginning because the reading instruction was so poor. Thank god for her 1st grade teachers and summer supplementing, which got her back on track.

And this is a kid who, like I said above, tested at the 99th percentile in the WPPSI.

So yes — it’s absolutely about the education.[/quote]
