[quote=Anonymous]It's bananas. My spouse and I together make less than one of your salaries, and private school tuition is totally financed by my trust fund. It's not fair, and if it hadn't been for the pandemic, I'm not sure I would have switched my older kid to private. I see what we are paying $$$$ for and sometimes, the teachers have no clue what they're doing. In private school, there's "doing," but they don't have to measure students' learning the way public school teachers do, and I honestly don't think they know how to help a kid grow as a reader or writer, much less hit their marks in the area of history content. (I know less about math and science so can't judge as well.) The extra-curriculars are great, and it's a relief knowing that there won't be many kids with distracting behavior, but my kid also doesn't know what low-income excellence looks like. I have taught in low-income schools, and it's amazing what some of my students can do with parents who have limited English skills, or 5 siblings at home. Maybe you're set on private and that's fine, but there's a lot you can learn from public school that you won't get in private.
