[quote=Anonymous]I've been on both sides of this. My kid went to public elementary and middle school and switched to private high school. When DC was in public school, I did envy friends who could afford to send their kids to private, but by "envy" I don't mean that I had any ill feelings towards these people. I just wished that we could afford to do the same starting in middle school, when I knew my kid wasn't getting the kind of academic challenge they needed. We can only afford for high school with some sacrifice. I have good friends whom I know wish they could afford private high school too because our public option is just so-so. My kid is now at a great private school. I don't envy the parents who have to deal with our so-so public high school in the Baltimore area. I do, however, sort of envy the parents who live in areas with great, free public options or who have access to competitive magnets. [/quote]
