[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While my child is developing socially, emotionally, and academically?  ABSOLUTELY.  Smaller classes, differentiated curriculum, constant communication...worth every penny when they are young.[/quote]

You are naive if you think public schools don't offer the same. My DD's class for PreK3 was 13 kids with 2 FT teachers in the class. We are in private now and there are 22 kids in her class with 1 teacher.[/quote]
Check your numbers for actual grades...1st and up.  Atrocious in public.  Shameful.[/quote]

Same school goes to 8th grade and doesn't have any classes with 20 or more kids. Older grades also have two FT teachers per class.[/quote]

PP here again. To add, I am not anti-private. DD will complete elementary at an immersion private, because I feel it's worth the investment. We would happily have opted for Elsie Stokes if she could get a slot, but no dice. The private school she will attend for first grade offers a unique immersion program that we don't have access to in private. However, the classroom sizes at her private are definitely larger, so wanted to point that out.[/quote]
