Most private school teacher, at least the ones I am familiar with, might be unlicensed, but have advanced degrees and left other professions to go into teaching - lawyers, PhD's etc.[/quote]

We left Private for this exact reason: We wanted teachers with actual education degrees who knew how to deliver education to students...we were tired of hearing how this teacher had X experience, and this one had Y experience--with most of the experiences having little to do with teaching.

A true teacher is trained to educate--student teaching, degree in education, etc. Our children are now at a school which has amazing leadership and teachers who are 'by the book' ... no BS.

We found in private school that we were financially supporting things we did not want to: Financial aid (I know a friend who owns numerous properties, takes overseas vacations---yet gets 90% FA for several children) ... ridiculously large 'grounds' to impress people, etc etc.
 
Choose what's important to you: The Sidwell name? (Which is excellent, and may get your child into a good school)...or finding a school where you won't be complaining about having to pay so much. Your call. Free world and all.[/quote]
