[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me it’s difficult to really understand the value of private schools, in terms of the education the kids receive My DC is in a private school that costs 50k+ and they don’t write essays in middle school and the math teacher is pretty incompetent and also the band performance is subpar.

When I comment on this mentioning the name of the school people think I am troll. But my perception is that there is a lot of groupthink in terms of the quality of private schools. I think schools like sidwell and ncs seem pretty solid. But the rest I am not sure.[/quote]

If my child was not writing essays in MS or teachers were incompetent, I would agree that it's not worth it and you should look elsewhere--another private or public. And name the school.

We are having a different experience with our DCs, and it has nothing to do with groupthink or justifying our choice. There's a huge variance of what you'll get across all of the different private schools in our area and families prioritize different aspects of school, which impacts how they assess the "value" of a school for their child.
