[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We make $3M+ and it still feels like an insane amount going out the door (we have no family money and both went to public schools growing up). We have one in private and one in public (DCPS) - both elementary aged. I'm keeping the younger one in public for as long as it works/she is ok with it. Ideally until middle school starts but she might want to join her sibling before that.

If I could give anyone advice: hold off on private as long as you can absent an exceptional need for a private that is very kid dependent. In elementary at least, I am seeing very little difference.

Serious question- how are you apparently bright enough to gross more than 3 million a year and yet don’t quite get that an education at the very best independent DC school is leagues better than even the very best DCPS elementary school with its centralized curriculum, relative dearth of outdoor/ recess minutes, mandatory inclusion of even the most disruptive explosive kids, and larger pupil:: educator (not paraeducator) ratio?

Not to mention the relative lack of writing instruction, minutes of science a d history instruction and minutes of art instruction each week?

If you’re telling the truth, then how do you explain hoarding your money to ensure your kids get a relatively inferior product? [/quote]
