[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I will be the outlier here and say that when kids are in top rated districts but have 30+ in a class with no aide and their parents can *easily* afford to get them out there…I totally think they should.

That doesn’t mean they need to go to Beauvoir with all the status obsession. Far from it. But put your kids in a learning environment in which you yourself would want to spend 7 hours a day. Calm, functional and imbued with respect. [/quote]

My family is an immigrant family.  Almost nothing was more important to my parents than our education and we went to public school.  As an adult, with kids of my own who are both smart and neurotypical, we have passed down to them (I hope) that they need to prioritize their education and schooling.  With more resources than my parents, we send to public schools. Why?  Because they need to learn to thrive in a chaotic environment.  I believe that figuring this out is good for them as they live very privileged lives most of the time.  They are getting an excellent education but they do have to work a little harder at it.  And given that they both can, I am good with it.  [/quote]
