[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have many friends in their Bethesda public schools that could easily afford private, but stay public because they like having their kid in a community school with friends nearby. I’m sure if any of these kids were struggling in public then they’d pull them out, but they all seem very happy with their kids in public and see no need to spend the extra $ on private.  [/quote]

This is also our situation. Being a part of a community in your neighborhood school that transitions to pool, scouts, sports teams etc is immeasurable....even as we moved into high school and were recruited to play sports at some privates we stayed public. So many amazing things about public school. IMO I think many private school kids are missing out on learning how to deal with the world in the bubble of private school however I also believe that they may very well stay in that bubble their entire lives and not even realize it anyway.[/quote]

Your kids are missing out on working on an an African cocoa plantation or a Bangladeshi textile factory. They may very well stay in that bubble their entire lives and not even realize it anyway. [/quote]
