[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you just move to a good school district and save the money for college? There are so many top notch public schools in MoCo and NoVA this makes no sense to me.[/quote] Yes, I agree there are many top notch schools in MoCo and NoVa. We live in one of them. Our goal is simple. We want our kids to go to the best ranked college that they can. Flame away all you want, but that was the goal of my parents, and in retrospect it was the key to my success. The fact of the matter is we do not expect our children to be straight-A, top of the class types at a place like Whitman. Any kid who does that well at the public schools will land at the best colleges. Our calculation is that going to a private school, for a variety of different reasons including the college placement director, will allow our kids to end up at a higher ranked school than they would if they remained on the public school track.[/quote]
