[quote=Anonymous]People have lots of reasons for choosing private schools, just as they have lots of reasons for choosing a BMW over Range Rover. A lot of it is just personal taste. As a family of public school attendees with multiple Ivy degrees, we know that an expensive private school does not guarantee elite college admissions or anything else in life.

We pay for private school because we don't want to deal with large bureaucracies about the most important element of our child's life. And unlike most private school families, we chose progressive secular schools which tend to be far more expensive than parish/parochial schools. If we did not have the money, we wouldn't have the luxury of being so picky.

And, the financial trade-off are pretty small for us. We work, so we don't summer and don't need multiple houses. No one in our house will buy a Birkin bag and there is no great desire for a new luxury car every other year.

It's a truism that once you make enough money, it is far more meaningful to buy experiences than things. And, we have been mostly pretty happy about the experiences afforded our DC in private school and those that we've avoided by not going public.
