[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the public schools are bad, I would spend the money and send the kids to private. That's a good investment.
However, if the public schools are great, I won't waste money in private schools. What would be the benefits? 
The only exception is if I'm a celebrity and I would like to my kids to be in a school environment where there is more privacy.[/quote]

This is a fair argument, and you could also argue that your money would be better spent investing in real estate in a really good school district because then you get the good school AND an appreciating asset.

However, as someone with kids in public school who struggles with certain aspects of how public schools are run (I [b]just don't think they do a good job of preparing kids for college or for life because they are stuck in an old fashioned education model, even at the best publics[/b]), I might just ditch public for private if I was at this income level. At least for elementary and maybe middle school, and then make sure my kid can go to the best possible public high school.[/quote]

Almost any private Catholic school is going to be run in a traditional & old-fashioned manner. Whether that is a good or a bad thing is in the eye of the beholder.

If your view is the bolded, I would look for privates that advertise as having a progressive educational philosophy.

PP here and yes, obviously I would not leave public for a parochial school. But I would look at Montessori or another progressive school that was anti-screen and used a more progressive model than the traditional public school model.[/quote]
