[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neighbors who do this (MoCo, W cluster) do it because:
- family 1: wanted a religion-based education, always planned to go private
- family 2: special needs kid, just felt like private was a better fit; never planned to go private
- f[b]amily 3:  status/want to show off money; have several kids, all in different privates and travel sports; probably always planned to go private[/b]
- family 4: both parents teach at the same private school, tuition is covered and it's convenient; would switch to public if the circumstances changed[/quote]

Hate to break it to you but parents show off money by getting a huge house, a country club membership, brand new cars ever few years and lavish trips.  They do not show off their money by spending it for a child to go to a school.  They don't.  I am not saying there are not people in private schools that do show off money, but most do not.  And there are plenty of parents that show off their money and save more of it for themselves by sending their kids to public.

Not sure what travel sports has to do with it either.  [/quote]
