[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools are a tax rich people pay to keep their kids with other “like us” children. I attended private school and got a very good education, mostly because there were classes, no disruptive behavioral issues and peers whose parents were like mine. I can’t afford private school for my kids, but I would absolutely prefer to in high school, when peers inevitably shape my children’s behaviors and judgment. [/quote]

Please note that living in a “top” school district is exactly the same — rich people pay $2 million for a house to keep their kids with children like themselves. [/quote]
I agree. Housing prices are based on the same principle, that rich people want to be around other rich people. I’m sure rich people would rather spend $200k than $2 million for their home, but that’s the tax to live next to like-minded people. If I had teenagers, I would absolutely either send them to private school or rent in the best school district possible. Peer group affects 16 year olds much more than parenting, and if you have the choice between a school with lots of drugs and teen pregnancies or a school with none, the decision is easy.[/quote]
