[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I understand many people in the DC Metro area have this issue - that's why I'd like to hear their perspective!

This is also absolutely not a social thing for us. It would be the opposite. Our social network is going public. We are also not terribly affluent. Private tuition, while not a crazy stretch, would be a sacrifice in terms of opportunity cost for other things.

The size of classes and attention paid to individual kids doesn't seem to be a factor at all I'm hearing. 24-26 kids in a class just seems pretty extreme to me for such little kids...[/quote]

This is us...in fact, I felt totally out of place socially at most schools we visited, because we know almost no one with kids in private. But I am trying to get over myself because this is 100% about my kid. I feel strongly that an academically-focused K is NOT the best fit for my DC, and I wanted play-based/progressive K. But private K *is* a crazy stretch for us so I don't think we'll be able to make it work :( [/quote]
