[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I will be the outlier here and say that when kids are in top rated districts but have 30+ in a class with no aide and their parents can *easily* afford to get them out there…I totally think they should.

That doesn’t mean they need to go to Beauvoir with all the status obsession. Far from it. But put your kids in a learning environment in which you yourself would want to spend 7 hours a day. Calm, functional and imbued with respect. [/quote]

This is us. We bought our house for the public schools.  We had both gone public.  But when we got in the door, it wasn’t what we wanted.  We decided that we would look into private and after doing so, we made the leap.  No regrets.  The comparison to cars is silly.  Tuition at a top private for two kids is nearly 90 a year— so we basically pay the equivalent  a new car every year.  Still no regrets.[/quote]

And 30+ students in a class is actually not too bad for a public school. 40+ is more like a norm in my zip code. Of course private school provides a better leaning environment. If your kids can get into Thomas Jefferson or Basis taking exams it would also be a great learning environment but McLean high.... meh[/quote]
