[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know. I had a kid with a LD and some other issues, so I feared putting her into a public high school. My other children went to privates, but I think it was a waste of money. Public was good enough for them. It depends on the child, OP. [/quote]

*good enough. That says it all. If are only aiming for "good enough" then no private school isn't worth. We are aiming a lot higher than good enough, so it's worth every penny.[/quote]

Except that you're surrounded by people like this poster....

And, typically, they don't know squat about education, so what they're really buying is a status symbol and a network.

Wrong. We are a family of public school educators. We know all too well the many failings of that system.[/quote]

None of which you identify in your post.  And suggestion in your post that public is merely "good enough" while private is better is facile and inaccurate.  [/quote]

And in my professional and experienced position the are merely "good enough." I could care less if you agree, nor do I feel the need to prove anything to you. By all means you go pursue "good enough." The world needs your kind too. Somebody has to be willing to take the "good enough" paying jobs.[/quote]
