[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if there's ever been a thread on DCUM where private school parents are allowed to answer OP's question without a dozen posts by public school parents to tell us how stupid we are for not choosing public.  Are you all really that insecure about your choice that you cannot bear the thought of anyone choosing a different path?[/quote]

There really isn't such a thing as "private school parents" and "public school parents"  we're just parents trying to make the best decisions for our kids/families.  We aren't different species after all!  Many of us, myself included, have experience with both.  It is not an either/or proposition.  Having sent my kids to both I can say, unequivocally, that there is not enough of a difference to justify $38k in tuition!  Sorry if that offends you.  I am not "insecure" about my choice, but I'll be blunt: I regret my choice to stay private with my oldest (once you're in the pipeline and all).  Almost $250k for middle/high school!  Simply not worth it.  Put the younger ones in MCPS and the education was better, the clicques were no worse and the college outcomes were better.  Just my family's experience, but our truth none the less.[/quote]
