[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of reasons why any given family might choose private for their child, even when their local public is highly regarded.  Just because your local school is great doesn't necessarily mean it is the best place for every child.  I am a long time proponent of public and live in a highly sought out district in MoCo. I am a product of MoCo publics myself and was well prepared for college, grad school, career etc.   Yet, I find myself as a parent of a privately educated child because of recommendations by teachers and professionals that public was probably not be the best option right now for our child's happiness or education.  It's not all about getting into college later, or making connections..it's not always so black and white...it's often a matter of recognizing what each of your children will need out of school in terms of education and environment to help them be a happy and thrive academically and socially healthy person.  That can certainly be done via public, and for many it is...but it is not the case for every child.  Believe me, I wish it were the case for our child, but I am happy in our private so far....and we have a happy, thriving child..so mission accomplished (for now at least).[/quote]

This post is too sane, too rational and too non-confrontational.  Good job!  [/quote]
