[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On average, studies show that most benefits of private school accrue to children from low income homes. When you control for family income, most of the benefits of private school disappear. However, your children are individuals, not averages. If you have an underachiever or an average student, smaller class sizes and greater personal attention could make a real difference. i think the wait and see people have the right idea.[/quote] OP here-- That is very interesting! It sounds like something from Freakonomics, I think-- something like the school a child attends is far less important than the level of schooling of the mother. But of course, as you say, childern are not averages-- and each school is unique.[/quote]
