[quote=Anonymous]It depends how bad your public is, whether you're prepared to move to a better district, and how much "noise" you're willing to tolerate for your long-term financial wellbeing. Because given your financial picture, I don't think you can afford the best privates. And I want to be very clear that a "regular" private is not going to give your child a better education that a "regular" public, if the public is MCPS, FCPS or other reputable systems of the DC region. Your husband is putting too much importance on socio-emotional, soft indicators. I don't think they're worth 100K a year, honestly. This isn't college (which is going to cost that much when your kids are of age). You need to parent your kids so they can be resilient and thrive in public. [/quote]
