[quote=Anonymous]We have three kids in DCPS. We have a very nice house, but not fancy cars. We believe in community and that our kids need to learn to do well in public school, which represents a realistic version of the world.  We don't want them to be in an all-day bubble, coddled and catered to because we are paying a high tuition.  We believe that this reality will serve them better in life.  We are not concerned about them attending ivy leagues.  We want them to attend a decent school and find a career path that they are passionate about.

We have been pleased with their public school education so far.  It's not perfect, but we can supplement as needed.  We like their school community.

With the money we have saved from not sending them to privates, we will provide them with undergrad tuition and money for their first house.  Being debt free and having the ability to buy your first house early on in life is a huge huge help.  If they want to attend grad school, they are on their own.

We have 800k HHI.[/quote]
