[quote=Anonymous]We have plenty of money but went public. Our kids are not academic superstars so that knocked out any of the more "elite" local privates. Then there are the "rest" of the privates but those do not seem worth the money compared to our public. Maybe, just maybe, we should have put them in private for the social aspect but we were not really up for that social rat race. That is my only potential regret is that given $$ was not the issue, should we have put them in private schools for the peer group? Probably not given our own sensibilities - we have stealth wealth - and don't think the private school crowd is what we or our kids were looking for. Both kids went on to perfectly fine private colleges so we spent the $$ there. In fact, our kids go to college with others in our area who went to the local private schools so in terms of college placement, there was no difference.[/quote]
