Why wouldn't you want your child to be confident that they are capable of achieving greatness? I once heard a quote to the effect that "whether you believe you can or you believe you can't you're probably right" and it stuck with me. I think kids who have developed determination and self confidence have a great advantage in life.[b] I just don't know if spending $$$ on a private school education is the only or even the best way to develop this.[/b][/quote] I personally don't think it is. I went to a local private, and my DH went to one, too--one of the schools under discussion on this thread. We both felt that the schools we went to were too lily-white and privileged. Today, our DC goes to an excellent FCPS public HS, and we are happy with our choice.[/quote]
