[quote=Anonymous]I would definitely not choose private. My parents and my in-laws were once in a similar position as you. My parents chose public and his chose private. Looking back my husband thinks they made the wrong decision and sacrificed too much financially. In fact they haven't even retired yet. They spent close to a million dollars educating their children. I wouldn't find this as ridiculous if they didn't have decent public schools to choose from but they did. It sounds like you also have decent public schools. I would supplement and really stay on top of your child's education. Like others mentioned you have two other children. It will mean a lot more to your kids to be able to travel as a family, attend summer camp etc. if your son were an only child or you expected a huge pay increase over the next few years I may consider it. Life is stressful enough and with three kids I wouldn't add a tuition payment on top of it. If anything just increase college savings. Higher education will benefit your child a lot more than a private k. [/quote]
