[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have been in private since preschool. When neighbors public school parents ask where my kids go to school I tell them the truth and say we did not want the bilingual instruction of our elementary school (we are a trilingual family). I avoid mentioning what I saw when I went to visit our local public school.
As per the feelings for sending them to private, sometimes I wish they went to our FREE neighborhood school 1 block away, but then I remind myself how much better are the schools that they are in. I just not share these thoughts with anyone.[/quote]

It’s very different choosing not to go to a school than it is attending and then choosing to leave.  You choosing private isn’t a reflection on their school or choices.[/quote]

My eldest went to PK in DCPS and it was not a good experience/place for her.

I also think that independently from academic abilities, some kids thrive socially in a smaller classroom with no problematic kids… which was my daughter’s case. My middle child would have likely been great in public because she has a very dominant personality and would have been noticed /heard even when surrounded by troubled kids.

I don’t understand why OP needs to be judged for choosing to spend 50k on private school…[/quote]

OP is being judged for thinking she is so much on the minds of her neighbors.
