[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think private school parents (and I am one of them) are just lazy and pay the big bucks to let the school do all the work for them in terms of their children's academic career and enrichment opportunities.  In public schools parents have to give their children more guidance and often times they have to do more of the leg work involved in the process.

There is said it! [/quote]

Again, I have had children at both a top public magnet, and top privates.  I felt just the opposite about our Big private, our child had to take the initiative to develop their talents, seek out worthy enrichment opportunities, decide how to spend their summers working and/or learning.  DH and I used to joke "for the tuition we pay . . . ", but our child and our household did the heavy lifting on the outside academic and enrichment opportunities -- especially as the girls grew older. [/quote]

I suppose it depends on which school you attend and each family. [/quote]
