[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess this just serves to demonstrate the folly of buying in a neighborhood with mediocre schools because you plan on sending your kid to private so "quality of schools isn't a factor" and you really want that really big house. Circumstances change, private school is no longer an option, and you're stuck in a mediocre school.

We bought our house for the quality of the schools, and none of what the OP and other private-schoolers have described has been the case for us. Our office staff is warm, welcoming and helpful. Elementary-age teachers (which is all we've been through so far), especially kindergarten, have bent over backwards to be positive and get kids excited about the beginning of school. I've gotten to know many of the other parents and made some good friends. And my kids are doing great, both academically and socially.

So basically, this thread is telling me there's no reason for me to consider private. Woohoo for money in the bank![/quote]

Wow, public school parents constantly bang on about how GREAT their decision is. You'd think it'd be the private school parents who are constantly justifying. [/quote]

Is this your first visit to DCUM? You seem to have missed a couple thousand posts. You will find the arguments/justifications/smugness/etc. on all sides -- and don't leave out the homeschoolers![/quote]
