[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way I see it, each child is different and they have different needs. The child with possible learning disabilities will need the smaller class size provided at the private school and the other one may thrive in public.

I have two kids in private and one in public. There has never been any jealousy or rivalry and they are all very close.

It really depends on how you communicate with your children. Let them know you always do what's best for them.

I've told my child in public she's doing an amazing job in public and doesn't need private school. Whereas my other two need more structure.

They are perfectly content all these years and I'm sure your kids will be too.

Good luck. [/quote]

I wonder if you ask the kids what  their perception of all this is. We only hearing from parents who insist everything is fine with the public private set up. It seems to me there are issues when a child has to be told they can't go to private bc they're doing just fine in public. If the kid was ok on being in public on their own, why does this even come up for discussion? So the parent is reinforcing their belief that the kid is ok in public but the child may think differently. I knew 3 siblings where only the son went to private and the 2 daughters went to public. The son that went to private went on to Duke and later a successful career at PWC. The daughters that went to public blame their parents for their lack of academic success on being in an overcrowded public highschool. So for every family that claims there are no issues with this type of arrangement there is also one that has sibling issues. For the OP, I would stay in public given your tight financial situation. Try to find other solutions for helping your daughter. [/quote]
