[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school is easily a 20-30 min one way trip during rush hour, so call it an hour round trip, twice a day (!!!!). There is a bus, but not for lower elementary. So realistically I will be the one having to play chauffeur. I work from home with a flexible schedule but this is not how I want to spend my time.

Nope.  Tell him that if he wants your child to go to private that he will be the one chauffeuring child to and from school.  You are not going to add that drive to your schedule.  So, either public or he rearranges his work schedule to do the driving.

But then, I'm a guy who placed top 3% of a large public high school (in another state) and got into a T10 school.  And I come from UMC/affluent parents who were able to pay full fare for all three of their kids so that none of us ended with any student debt.

If you would be borrowing from your children's college savings to pay for private school tuition then the answer is definitely no.  You only send your kids to private if you can afford to fully pay for their college without loans and still pay for private tuition and any other needs/luxuries that your family wants, like vacations and such.  Private school, especially at the ES level is a much lower priority and a luxury, especially when you have a good public nearby.[/quote]

It’s not the 1990s anymore, fella.  Do you have kids in the public school system now?[/quote]
