[quote=Anonymous]It really can go either way.  The one thing with privates is that it's a lot of work at younger ages for parents - we were in public with our 2 kids until MS and the stuff like birthday cupcakes and class productions to track meets - it's a lot more than needed in public.   We feel our private is great.  Same position as OP and we prob struggle a bit more yet it's worthwhile for us.  We put DD in as she does not need pvt but has really benefitted from it.  This is such a personal decision and relates to each specific school. DH is not keen on continuing to HS but I am.  There's so much violence and going ons I feel my kids are safer in our private as well.  But I will say this is our second private and I did not feel this way about our first school.  It's really about perspective - it depends on what you hope for for your kids.  In ours, DS has learning disabilities and socially is more awkward so less kids is best.  It's less than public but still pretty large population.  We are over the moon with our school and j Hyde feel it's like a work place in that the kid is there all day every day.  I want them to really 
enjoy as I would my environment of work.  DD does not need it but who needs nice sheets? Lol vacations and great but every single day being on the happy side to me is worth it.  There's no right or wrong answer and you can give them the foundation until HS when they may be more flex in experiencing different dynamics. But ours started in 5th and has said she does not ever want to return to public even though many if her close neighborhood friends are there.  [/quote]
