[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think about all the times private parents are posting here.  "So glad we got out" "This is why my kids are in private"  etc.  It goes both ways.  Everyone is just a bit insecure about their choices I suppose.[/quote]

With public it’s less of a choice, though right? For most, you’re forced to accept the public school you’re assigned to. And for private, if you don’t want to be there and it no longer serves your child, you can just leave, even in the middle of the year. [/quote]

Most privates make you pay for the entire year.  [/quote]

No - most don’t. The majority allow you to pay in one lump sum annually OR in two installments - one per semester OR monthly, in 10 installment payments. All private schools also offer tuition insurance so for a specific list of reasons, you can get out of your contract and the school can be made partially whole. After COVID, many private school parents switched to monthly anyhow because we did not like that we had paid up front just to receive virtual schooling and few if any private schools were willing to issue refunds.[/quote]

Yes but the monthly plan does not absolve you of having to pay tuition even if you leave partway through the year b/c it is not a good fit. [/quote]
