[quote=Anonymous]We've done privates, and I went to private. The physical plant is a big part of the appeal; they just have everything, and there's plenty of space, and things get fixed, etc.. HOWEVER, I can say 100% that the facilities aren't the be-all/end-all. After reading that article in the Times about schools with no desks and 20-year-old books, I won't claim that all public school districts are equally good, but a decent public-school won't necessarily be less fun, even if it's a standard boring play ground, and in the lower grades especially, I think you get better teachers in public school. What you do gain in private school is better responsiveness to parents, IMO, though if your public isn't overcrowded, they can be responsive, too.[/quote]
