[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you on track to fully pay for undergrad even if your kid goes to private ES? If so, then stay private.

This is our priority list:

1. Fully paid undergraduate
2. Private High School
3. 50% contribution towards graduate school 
4. Private middle
5. Private ES

We think our kids are going to be more thankful about getting a big contribution to graduate school than being glad they went to a private ES. But that’s our belief, not everyone. Private ES when you have a good public is for the benefit of the parents not the kids. Maybe you could justify it if you wanted to attend the high school. But that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

I'm thinking through all of this now with a 2 and 4 year old. The above points reflect a 2010 world where the assumption is that the pipeline leads to degrees. In a world that's rapidly shifting, should we treat K-12 like college? [/quote]

Yes, I would avoid any school that uses the screen and AI to replace the teachers, especially in lower grades.
