[quote=Anonymous]I am a huge fan of our public schools, but yes, we were happy with the move. It was a much calmer (and slower) social setting and better overall education. To be sure, both have flaws, and nothing is perfect. Nonetheless, we actually moved the youngers the year after our oldest started in private because we could not in good conscience leave them where there were fo rthe planned years after we experienced the difference. I also came to appreciate the wider opportunities for extra curriculars -- things they would not have gotten to experience in a bigger environment. Looking back (they've all graduated), while the excellent education was obviously important, it was the rest of it (and these are absolutely things they could not have experienced otherwise) that really helped them find themselves and their interests and defined who they are today.[/quote]
