[quote=Anonymous]Our HHI is about 450k and we have only one child, so we can afford the tuition (though 40k/year after tax is still a lot of money to us). When we moved to DMV a few years ago, we rented in a good public school district, with the plan to buy a property in that area and send our DD to public ES. But soon after we found that there were so many "eager" parents in the neighborhood. When I took a walk after dinner, I could hear exciting parents brag about their talented kids in magnet schools, in GT classes, in math contests, in swimming teams, or simply teacher A is better than B etc, every day. After a while we felt more and more anxious, because we probably won't have the energy to push our DD to compete with them. That's the reason we sent her to private. [/quote]
