[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Did not mean to virtue signal at all. Genuinely looking for insight from those with children a bit older than mine on whether the combination of these values is a wise reason to choose public vs private: 1. To build a strong local community for our family (Have you parents, and your kids, stayed friends with others you met in ES a decade later… or am I being naive?) 2. To build empathy in my kids by being around more diversity in their classmates - and to not expect a coddled learning environment as the “base case” from the get-go To the PP’s question, we are extremely fortunate in that paying for private from K —> on will not impact our ability to pay for college. [/quote] More virtue signaling. Families will move. You will not build a lasting community. To build your child's empathy...that is a learned family value as well as an intrinsic one. [/quote]
