[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please help me decide where to send Dd next year.She is 8 years old and going to Alexandria Public school.Dh is super upset.[/quote]

Why is your DH super upset? Public schools work for a lot of children, most, really. [/quote]

Dh is upset because I didn't want to spend $26,000 for private school.I told him to wait and see how dd first year in public school goes,before we spend crazy amount of our limited cash. In a new country.[/quote]

I'm with you, and it's the exact same decision we made.  I went to private schools my whole life, so I was really worried about sending DS to public school.  But DH and I decided to give it a shot - we weren't going to just send him to school and walk away and ignore his education!  If things were bad, we would pull him and send him to private.  Not the end of the world.
It turns out, he is thriving in his Maryland public school.  Lots of fun enrichment, lots of great classmates and teachers, the math is too slow, but that's not the end of the world (at least for my kid - he's an average smart kid, not some super-genius)  
Give it a try!  You might be pleasantly surprised.  And if you're not, you can always spend the $30,000 next year.[/quote]
