[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was it worth it does not equal college acceptances for most private school parent.

The question is too limiting, I am not there just for college admissions.

But I don't the question wasn't just based on college acceptances - though that was part of it. [/quote]

Yes. For my children it is worth it. They like going to school which is a big deal for dyslexic kids.

They are challenged, which they would not be in MoCo because our scores were not "gifted".

They have an advisory program and my sons advisors help with any issue I have. If they are fighting me about homework, or fighting with their brother or not helping at home, etc.

They have a very diverse set of friends. At home, in sports, at school - the combination. My sons have friends that range from can't afford to eat to can afford to feed all of Montgomery county.

Every day they have to look people in the eyes and shake their hand (I think that is the polish thing the PP means). It is so simple I am not sure why they don't do that in every school.

They have sport every day so when they get home to do homework they have already had 1 hour of outside time.

My kids are happy, so it is worth it to us. (they were not happy before - picture a kid sitting in a car, head down, do I have to go. Now hey tomorrow is going to be fun we are going to....)
