[quote=Anonymous]Your reason for wanting to send your kid to private is really warped and sad, but I commend your honesty, I guess.

I have one kid in private and one in public. The one in public asked to switch from private after 5th grade. They are both thriving academically and socially at their respective schools. There are vast differences between the schools in terms of resources, physical facilities, diversity and quality of teachers, parent involvement, types of learning (hands on project learning vs. worksheets and apps), and many other things.

If your child is motivated and has the right support at home, I think they can succeed at any school. However, private school is great if you can afford it and it's a good fit for your family.

We are not 'upper class' by any means, and accepted financial aid at the private up until this year. I think you need to evaluate your motives and what type of person you are trying to raise - a social climber, or a well-rounded person who can think and make their own decisions.[/quote]
