[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far we have not switched to private because we have concerns about our kids being in such a rarified atmosphere and are also worried about disruption if our financial situation changes and we would have to pull our kids out of private school. We have a low mortgage so we don't worry about having to move if one of us lost a job.

For now we are saving $80K/year in a brokerage account instead of paying for private school. that is money our kids will have someday. I am not convinced that they would be better off with a private school education vs having that money to pay for their own kids' college educations.[/quote]

I am very convinced my son's private school made him more educated and future career oriented. His very fist SAT score was 1380, before he even took prep tutoring for higher score. Needless to say he started in kindergarten with developmental delays. School was providing all kinds of learning specialists (he was reading diagonally at age 7).  Boys do much better is smaller classes and it's the major advantage of private schools.

My friends' kids from public schools (unless specialty schools) have much lower SAT scores, drugs and partying culture prevails in the schools which are considered "top" public. [/quote]
