[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I do not necessarily want to apply back to the same school.  I am worried about the "bubble" of privilege and sameness at all of the private schools.  I think it is more important to go to private later (for us) not necessarily in k-3.  I think that going to public may build self confidence better and navigation around social issue without mom and dad around.  This is not a dig at the school I am in [/quote]

What are you talking about? Being in private definitely prepares you for an UMC life. Do you think she will be hanging out with plumbers and dayworkers all the time?  I grew up in they lifestyle, so have no dig against them, but once you go away to a decent college your life is pretty isolated in careers and neighborhoods (safe, good schools etc). If anything a private will expose her to the competition she will have in college admissions and job market — better to know now how to succeed. [/quote]
