All that is gold does not glitter, OP.

Just because some schools are drab and structurally unimproved, it does not mean that the education there isn't excellent.

I went to the best (private) high school in France. It was less than half the price of the very expensive British and American schools, and it looked like a complete dump. They had invested all they had in paying for the best teachers, a demanding curriculum, appealing textbooks, and delicious food in the cafeteria.

As regards music education, knowing a bit about that too, I can guarantee that the only one worth having is outside of school in a reputable studio or music school.

It's really sad that parents are dazzled by the externals. Those won't help your kid when he goes from a luxurious atmosphere to a really stimulating yet comparatively gritty college and beyond.

I am all for private schools, but I don't judge them on their outward appearance. I want the best teachers, the sensible curriculum, the beautiful textbooks. Unfortunately, the bad fish is too often hidden in the sauce!
