[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to private school. Hoping to keep my kids in public school all the way.[/quote]

same here. 
I find it fascinating that so many of us feel this way. [/quote]

Me too.

My theory - private school is probably a 10% better experience than the public path we are on. That 10% is simply not worth the financial and lifestyle price we would pay through the tuition costs. [/quote]

I think this is spot on. 
My kids are in an excellent public and i think the difference between their experience and that of a top (&quot;Big 3&quot; or the like) private school in DC is about 10%.  
For us, that 10% isn't worth $35-40K per kid.  If we had an income of &gt;$500K maybe we'd consider it.   If our public was crummy then we'd also certainly consider it. 
But as it is we're quite happy in public.   And kids from our public school transfer quite seamlessly to Big 3 schools in later elementary and middle school all the time.
