[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry you are getting attacked, but I don't think private school is the magic bullet for anything. risk taking teenager + disposable income+ peer pressure/ low self esteem often leads to teenage drug use. I think the antidote whetehr in public or prvate is does your teen have a purpose ? Are they driven towards any goal that drug use would screw up, like athletic accomplishment or strong academic interest that give sthme a strong sense themselves ? Honestly, the only possible benfit of having a kid in Private is that , possibly ( but no guarantee) if you rkid gets busted, they will just lose their position at the prestigous private, and possibly their IVY League acceptance, but in public they will likely be arrested and pick up a criminal record. Depending on what kind of kid you have, one or the othe rmight be a better deterent.[/quote]
