[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]

No.  I'm one of the "stupid" ones.  We live in MoCo and chose private for a multitude of reasons including smaller class size, more PE/recess, attention paid to how kids learn not just what they learn, smaller and loving community, more critical thinking/writing/public speaking exposure, no disruptive kids, social-emotional lessons being valued just as much as academic ones, individual attention, fun traditions.  Sure, my kids would have done fine at our public elementary school.  However, they're doing better than fine and absolutely love school.  They love school because our private makes learning fun.

Yes, your kids can get an excellent education in either private or public school.  However, the process will be more fun and enriching at a private school.  Whether that's worth it to you or not is an personal decision.  Every summer, we question whether the money we spend is worth it.  The school starts, and DH and I both heartily agree that the money spent on tuition is indeed well worth it.[/quote]
