[quote=Anonymous]My parents basically insisted I go to private for high school, but told me I could go back to public after a year if a chose to do so. After a year, when I chose that, they laid the pressure on hard and I ended up staying in private. 20 years later, I think they made the wrong choice. My private school was not a good fit for we, and for many of the same reasons your son cites, I think I would have been equally successful, and much happier, at our strong local public school. I would have been much better off if they saved that money for grad school! (My sisters attended the same private and it was a much better fit for them.) That said, the ‘try it for a year’ approach wasn’t a bad one - they just should have listened when I said ‘yup, not for me’ at the end of that year.[/quote]
