[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can honestly say that I do not know of one parent that left private for their own reasons and regretted the decision.   Do your homework and trust your instincts.[/quote]

We left for public two years ago.  It was hands down the best decision we could have made for our family.  [/quote]

Our kids went to public for elementary school (MCPS) and then switched to private for middle and high school.  Neither public nor private is monolithic and either type of school can be great for your child and family if you find the right match.  That said, if you don't like the drudgery of PA/PTA work, if you don't like the fundraising and volunteering, if you don't like the rah-rah speeches (our school is like a blizzard of special snowflakes!), be aware that you'll get that in public too.  The only thing you won't get is the tuition bill.  On that score, you and DH have to decide whether it's worth it for your child.  What is your kid getting from the school?  If it's important to you and you can afford the tuition, then just suck it up.   [/quote]
