[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved from an elite private school to MoCo schools. Personally, my child wanted (and we supported) a less 100% privileged environment. We appreciated the coddling when they were little, [b]but have no interest in our kids going into their adulthood literally never having been friends with someone who needed free lunches or came from a non college educated family. No judgement to those who do private the whole way - great people and families. We just wanted different exposure a little younger than they did. These are people’s formative years and I wanted them broader experiences for my kids. [/b]We have never regretted the choice.[/quote]

We chose to start our kids in public school for this reason, and switch to private in middle school when the experience in most publics declines dramatically. I'm glad they started out in public elementary though- being exposed to a variety of kids in their class including those with special needs ranging from severe autism, cerebral palsy, intellectual and learning disabilities. They learned early on to be accepting of kids with differences.

Turns out our private is more racially and ethnically diverse than our highly rated public which was majority white or Asian![/quote]
