[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in college now and the kids who left for private didn’t have any better college outcomes than the kids who stayed. Bright kids are going to thrive anywhere. [/quote]

You need to read the other millions of threads on this.  Most of us don't send our kids to private for college outcomes.  If that's your goal stay public!  We send our kids private for whole child development, leadership development, social development etc. in addition to academic development - which is still better at private because of smaller more engaging classes.

I sent one of my kids for a year at TJ and on all those fronts mentioned above it was a disaster - he went back to his private school and my younger 3 never attended public.[/quote]

Good for you, but nobody cares. The point of this thread was ROI for people who can’t easily afford private school [/quote]

You must be thick.  The point of that post is directly aligned with the topic.  If college is your goal and you are middle class - stay public.  The PP that this poster responded to (probably you) didn't understand why people would choose private school if college outcomes are the same - I think the post covers that.  Clearly, your ISEE reading comprehension score would be too low for private school.[/quote]

You’re thick- my question was why middle class people who can’t easily afford college would choose private over public. I know why parents choose private because I’ve heard them opine about it time and time again.[/quote]

Maybe they are planning on a state school or going for merit aid. Maybe they qualify for financial aid at universities or even at the private K-12.[/quote]
