[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  My husband and I are very conservative and are on the lower end of income for private school parents low to mid 200's.   I have one kid who is finishing 5th and another that's in K.

It was totally worth it.  Every single one of my daughter's friends comes from a very good and caring family and I think it is so important as they are so impressionable at that age. I'm not sure if my daughter would have fallen into the right crowd in public school.  When she is around model students, she is a model student and there are fewer model students in public schools statistically speaking.

My daughter is also involved in an outside activity where she is the only private school kid and while the parents are nice, she acts out when she is around these kids.  I'm not sure the dynamics of why- but there is a huge difference in the way she acts.

I also think she's getting a better education because she wants to perform like her friends.  Since she is highly influenced by other people, my daughter is much better off in private.

My son who is younger would probably have done fine in public school.  However, he wrote a short essay about who he would like to be like and he wrote about the pope.  We aren't very religious but the paper melted my heart and it was beautifully written for someone his age so I think his school helping him develop fully into a very good human being.

We might not drive fancy cars or have a fancy house- but I'll do anything to provide my kids with a good environment.[/quote]
