[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Insecure are we.   You obviously have a chip on your shoulder because you don't send your child to private school.[/quote]

We considered private but the math curriculum was not as strong.  A lot of my neighbors went to privates here growing up and we all did about the same.  A smart kid will do fine most places.  It’s best for kids who are struggling and need more support.  [/quote]

You can stay at a Four Season or a Holiday Inn.  You'll sleep at both, but it will be much more pleasurable at the Four Seasons[/quote]
