[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My twins probably got a better education at their top private, but their college admissions suffered compared to our local public.[/quote] +I graduated from a top NE boarding school. I had straight As, but was nowhere near the top of my class, with kids doing NASA level math, etc. I went to a fine university (NYU, though I got into UPenn, Michigan, Berkeley extension, it was my choice to go to New York), but know I would have had even better options from my public school… Still, I don't regret going. It was an amazing experience. But my husband doesn't want to send our kids, and I cant justify the cost based on the outcomes. If you can easily afford it and aren't focused on Ivy League or bust, then go for it. I especially think boarding school can be worth it for many other reasons. But if your kids are happy and thriving in public, no need to switch to private.[/quote]
