[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My children went through private K-8 and now are in a private HS (the 50k ones). I would not scrimp and save to put them in private with the good schools around here. We have a very high net worth where we can easily afford it, but if I were you I would go public all the way. Put that money into retirement.[/quote]

I totally agree with this. Having one kid in both public and private and we can swing it without much impact to our life, but private is not the panacea many who pay for it make it out to be. There's alot of great public options. [b]Move if you have to and make public work.[/b][/quote]

This response always gets me. How is it easier for people to move to a better school district than to afford private? Housing prices in many better school districts are astronomical. I'm in a not so great school district and our housing is still insane. Additionally just moving affects so many other parts of your life than just school. What about commute? What about friends? Activities? This is not the easy answer people on here seem to think it is. [/quote]
