[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where the kids go for college is almost immaterial - they will end up somewhere fine.

And it isn't a status symbol - it may be for some, but not for most of our kids classmates families.

Others have hit is on the head: teaching subjects with depth, not to a standardized test, learning how to write, starting with sentence structure and working out to paragraphs and chapters, how to craft reasons arguments, and more important, to understand there are different perspectives that shape how two people could reasonably come to different conclusions on a single topic.

for us, the tuition is a stretch - we are in that middle where there is no FA but it isn't pocket change, it is a true sacrifice. But for us, passing on the love of learning and the depth of education that we found lacking in the local public was and is worth every penny.

I work in an office where there is a 50/50 split of private and public school employees. I honestly cannot tell the difference between then when it comes to writing, any sort of analytical ability or overall ability to think, process and present. However, the private school kids are a lot more confident - in some cases unpleasantly so - almost entitled.
