[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a wealthy neighborhood with highly ranked public options. Some of my neighbors are wealthy enough that the cost of private school is an afterthought. For some of them, it is generational. They went to private and cannot imagine not doing the same for their kids (I also think they would feel like this would reflect badly upon themselves in their peer groups since many still socialize with their classmates from their privates). One family is very religious. Another very honestly shared that his daughter wouldn’t have stood out at the local high school because of the competition. She ended up going to an Ivy and they felt the private really helped her with that. [/quote]

I have to admit, our preference for private was probably largely based on the fact that’s what we’re familiar with.  DH and I both always went to private school and when we toured our local public, it just felt so cold and institutional.  It was so different from what felt like the norm for us.[/quote]
