[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I've had kids in public and private. One thing about private school - you are buying peace of mind. You will know what your child is doing and the teachers will communicate with you regularly. You won't be asked to work on school projects with your child at home; this will be done at school. You will get written comments from teachers at report-card time, not just letter grades. You will have easier access to school administration because they are invested. In my experience this isn't so much the case in public schools. I'd say that in most public schools parents need to be more actively involved and advocate for their children. Does this justify the massive tuition of private school? I think this is a difficult judgment call every family must make based on their individual circumstances.[/quote]

Aside from needing to take my children to craft stores and the library occasionally for projects (school doesn't do  that, which is a shame because I hate craft stores), we've evidently been getting a private school experience at our public school.

Must go roll around in the money we've saved now. [/quote]
