[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What an odd thread. Do people send their kids to private school for the sole purpose of going to a top college? I have never looked at the tuition I pay as transactional.
I wanted my kids to have a school that matched their learning style and where they felt comfortable. They don’t go to the same school. We aren’t buying college admissions.
We tried public school and it was a disaster for my kids and they hated school. If it works for others, great. I would have been happy to save the tuition money. It didn’t work so here we are. 
Are we privileged? Yes, I guess we are. I don’t think staying in public to pretend we aren’t while my kids suffered would be a good decision either. 
I don’t believe if my kids woke up tomorrow and decided they didn’t want to attend college at all that I would be upset. They’ve had really good middle school experiences and have learned a lot. The next phase of life isn’t going to be based on where or if they choose to go to college. [/quote]

Yes, they do! Consider yourself lucky that you are wealthy enough that it does not matter whether or not your children attend college. [/quote]
