[quote=Anonymous]We're in that category with two kids in private. We love the school and absolutely see the value of our sacrifices. Our kids are getting an incredible experience. The parents have been incredibly nice and welcoming to our family and I feel that we fit in just fine and are very much included as part of the community. OTOH, I dread Spring Break time because everyone talks about where they're going (not is a show-offy way, but just as part of conversation.) Many people take fabulous trips- Swiss Alps, Caribbean, etc. Tuition eats up too much of our disposable income to allow for any type of extravagant trip. Right after school started this year, one of my kids complained about how it was unfair that we don't have a beach house (many of his classmates spent the summer at theirs). These are deal-breakers, but are examples of where it is obvious who has more and who has less. [/quote]
