[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the school district. In Bethesda/Chevy Chase most of the kids going to private are special needs or come from snooty families. On the DC side of the border, it's people that want a good education for their kids without the fear of violence. No judgment. Families try to do what's best for their children. Certainly not jealous of families that choose private school  [/quote]

If you are wealthy why wouldn't you send your kids to private schools?

Is the money better spent on fancy German and Italian sports cars?  If you have excess cash flow after savings, why not?  I want to give my kids the best of everything.  I still save and have a high net worth by even country club standards.

Because they're not better

Do you really think that some kid coming out of Landon is better prepared for college and life generally than next door Whitman? Or Walter Johnson? Or Churchill?

Do you think the families that send their kids to those schools don't value education? Or could afford private?

It's the difficult kids that are sent to private[/quote]

Well, maybe they teach punctuation? And yes, I do. I think they also have a better educational experience. And yes, I do think many parents at the public schools would like to do private. Not all, of course. But what point are you trying to make here? Nobody is convincing anyone. Your want to be assured that you are making the best decision. You don’t respect people that have a different world view or experience. You resort to pejorative insults about their kids. Maybe a more well rounded education could have helped you with some perspective taking and logical reasoning. [/quote]
