[quote=Anonymous]There's no way to answer the question of whether it's worth it. We had our kids in private for many years, and more recently the younger ones were switched over the public. Frankly, I miss private for them but the multiple tuitions were too much for us to afford and also pay for college. I never cared about the connections to be made in private school, I think the Toyota vs Audi example is a good one. Private was easier in many respects -- kids were given a very well rounded curriculum with many advantages. At the end of the day, however, our son in public is thriving academically and socially. The classes are bigger, the school day is more hectic, his peers are more diverse (a good thing generally but sometimes a problem) and less attention is paid to social and emotional needs than at his former private. Are these things worth $30.000 a year? Only you can decide this.[/quote]
