[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school is only worth it if you are wealthy or live in a bad area and get grants / scholarships to pay for it.  Otherwise if you can afford private school in a bad area, you can afford to move to a good area with better public schools.[/quote]

We are not wealthy, but live in a wealthy area with "great" public schools. We switched to private because there was nothing really happening in elementary during public except encouraging bad habits (academic and behavioral). Maybe I'm traditional, but I think kids should learn to use pencils in K-3rd, not how to swipe on an ipad.[/quote]

Agree.  There are no “good” public schools.  There are public schools were parents of the children there are wealthy and where kids have fewer social/emotional problems- but the school isn’t actually any better [/quote]

The social/emotional problems are one of the major complaints people have about their public schools, though. As someone who currently lives in a district with schools that have tons of these problems, I wouldn’t minimize living in a district without them and the benefit it provides.[/quote]
