[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like hearing these responses.  But, I think it all really boils down to a status symbol.  The education is really not that different, at least not $30k different.  Maybe I o lay feel this way because my kids are really happy and thriving in a good public school, surrounded by the kids of really engaged and smart people.  Maybe it's because I'm not a teacher and don't care about how you structure your lesson plan.  All schools are basically teaching these kids the same basic thing. Privates   dress it up and charge $30k and people will pay it, because people like to buy expensive things with small frills that make them feel better than.   [/quote]

I am a public school teacher from a long line of public school teachers but my DC goes to private school. It is a huge chunk of my income despite very generous FA. And every year, I have to fight my XH over reenrollment although he does not pay a dime in tuition or fees. It is not a status symbol for me. My DC has difficulty focusing in large groups, but not enough to qualify for SPED and thus, needs the much smaller class sizes of private.[/quote]
