[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a real mindf&$ck: when all of this is over your child is going to inhabit the same colleges and jobs and communities as kids who just sidled up to the local public kindergarten.

It’s nice that you will have a bespoke experience, but it’s more about you than about your child.[/quote]

No it’s not. If it’s about me and not my kids, I would not be paying nearly $100k a year for 2 privates. And I know full well that my kids will be “sidled up” as you say next to public school kids when they are off to college. I also know that my kids would be miserable (as I was in public schools) to be [b]warehoused in an overcrowded school with overstretched teachers who barely know you, getting haphazard education and floating through grades like a ghost without any real mindful learning[/b]. But if you think that private education is a real mindf*ck, you go with that if that makes you feel better about your choices. [/quote]

wow.  you really believe this?  My kids were in DCPS and are now doing extremely well at STA and NCS.  They're great writers, they're in the top math classes, they think critically.  All of this learned in (gasp) public school.  While in public they were always in classes of under 20.  
It's baffling to me that you think that kids are not learning anything in public school.  I'm here to say that my kids learned just as much as they would have at Beauvoir.  In fact, they have leapt right over many if not most of the Beauvoir kids.  I get that paying $100K is hard (I pay it too)
but it's really not the only way to learn--especially in the early years.  [/quote]
