[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two kids went to public schools and both attended top 20 colleges. One is an urology resident and the other has started his own IT services company. It’s been well documented that within the same socioeconomic group, private school is a huge waste of money. But hey you do you and thanks for subsidizing my kids’ educations. [/quote]

Stupid comment. There are no “public schools” vs “private schools”. Some public schools are great and others aren’t. Some private schools are worth it and others aren’t. Some kids do better in some private/publics. Sneering at other families’ choices just shows your own narrowness. [/quote]

We moved our significantly dyslexic child to (mainstream, competitive) private after his public school teacher openly and repeatedly mocked him for his dyslexia in front of the class. The school acknowledged the behavior (it was even corroborated by other adults), yet because the teacher had tenure and was union-protected, it didn’t stop. That kid went from being demoralized and depressed to soaring academically at private.

When I read sneering, nasty comments like the PPs, I think that her kids really lost out, no matter how much money they saved, because they had nobody at home who could teach them humanity and compassion. [/quote]
