[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Exeter. My children go to a Title I DCPS. So I know what you mean. I'd switch them in middle or high school if I could afford it. It really is a different world. [/quote]

Ok...
This is what we want to hear about. 
I’m the OP of this thread, and I had sort of given up here. Posters are having a really hard time with time with the money aspect of this discussion. I don’t need a cost benefit analysis. The cost is not the issue. 
[b]If money wasn’t an issue,[/b] would you have them in private starting in pre K and continuing all the way through?
Do you see a benefit to their DCPS title 1 school? [/quote]

If the most expensive private schools cost 1%-5% maximum of our gross income and so truly money was not an issue, and I could choose any school at all, I think that probably my life would be so different from what it is now that I might not be asking that question. So that's one thing; with that kind of money, you might live in multiple places during the years, have tutors part of the year, etc.. You might also just do what everyone in your social group does.

If private school was more like 5%-15% of our gross income, so entirely doable, but still something where we could do something else with that money, I'd probably do it. Not because private schools are always better, but because then I wouldn't have to concern myself with school districts or the annoyances of public school rules and bureaucracy. Part of what you buy with private school is freedom. [/quote]
