[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Social cachet. Truly. Once you have the house in Bethesda, and 3 German cars in the garage, there must be a way to separate yourselves from the Joneses.[/quote] This is the real difference. I have a child in a JKLM public and there is strinkingly little difference between it and the private my older child attended. Ratio is 19:2 for K. Excellent teachers. Specials (art, music, social studies, gym, science, etc) daily. 2 recesses per day. Foreign language twice a week for a small fee. Highly educated parents (to a person). Excellent facility. And the list goes on. There are subtle differences but no where near worth $30K. I find that a large majority of parents who chose private over public in our neighborhood are just ignorant of how good the public really is. I constantly hear, "the classes are too big" when this isn't the case at all. [/quote]
