[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the same boat (but most likely poorer) but went with public because [b]regardless of private vs. public you will always be supplementing your kid's education. [/b]And though we can afford tuition for our kids, it would be a stretch to also afford all of the sports they do, the extra after school clubs/camps, and summer camps (CTY is $2700 per kid this year.) Moreover, we want to take the kids on vacation with us-- see the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall, travel through Europe: and that money for us is not just education, but a wonderful bonding experience for us as a family.

That, and all of the neighborhood kids are public schoolers too.

This was exactly our decision too.
We could afford private but it would be a big stretch - and would definitely limit serious extracurricular and large vacation options.  We decided that public + the money to travel and do expensive extras as needed was far more beneficial to our kids than private and nothing else.[/quote]
That was basically our thinking.  No school is going to offer everything, and going private would limit the extracurriculars and enrichment opportunities we could pay for, along with our activities as a family.        [/quote]
