[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, the experience along the way is enough to justify the cost.  That is exactly why we do private school. [/quote]

+1.  At this point (my kids are still in elementary school), I'm much more concerned with the day-to-day experience that private schools offers over public than I am with any life outcome.

Ultimately, for me, a successful outcome will be if my children are happy adults who are able to provide themselves with financial security.  Financial security doesn't = being wealthy.  It means being able to pay their bills and have at least a little saved for a rainy day.  If they can achieve that with a low paying job, then that's great, as long as they're happy and feel fulfilled.  I'm not sending them to school with the expectation that it will translate into them being Wall Street wizards.  I'm sending them to private school because I think it offers a happier, more well-rounded and fun experience.  The education they would receive at our MoCo is probably equally as good, but it's not nearly as rich.[/quote]
