[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cons - Cost

Pros - everything else[/quote]

You beat me to it!

We looked very closely at our MoCo public since cost is definitely a consideration for us.  Hands down, the privates we considered beat the public in every single aspect- better curriculum, better facilities, more recess, more PE, more art, music and drama, better differentiation and ability to teach to the individual child, better teachers (from what I've heard, there are some awesome and some not-so-great teachers at our public- the teachers at our private are across-the-board incredible), greater emphasis on character development, greater emphasis on reading/writing/public speaking, better lunch offerings, not only smaller classes, but smaller overall school so that kids are all known by the Headmasters, most of the teachers and most other families of the school.  Having attended both a "top" public and a private school myself eons, ago, I admit I'm biased.  While in many situations, one can obtain a comparable education, the overall experience at a private is generally far superior than the overall experience at a public.[/quote]

Every single aspect of private school is better. Wow. [/quote]

I know.. .my kids are in private but responses like this are just embarrassing and myopic. We are not all this clueless. I know so many kids who were better off and thrived in public schools (non-magnet and non-"W") also.  [/quote]
