[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting thread. We have our kids in public school so that we can travel to Europe, St. John, Western US, etc. often. We value travel above the particular educational environment of an elite private school. We would covert make the trade-off and give up the travel.

Every family has their particular value system - find yours - own it - and move ahead accordingly. Your children will find their own value systems too when they have families. [/quote]

I agree that travel is a great learning experience and courtesy of grand parents we have been able to do some as a family.  But, the travel my DC has done with Sidwell US is far more valuable than our family trips because of the opportunities for home stays, cultural events we would not have access to, meetings with political leaders, visiting with students who are the same age in their schools... I could go on and on.  There is just no way we could have organized these trips on our own even if we had  a lot more money.  So I think traveling with your teachers and a few fellow students is really irreplaceable.[/quote]
