[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we opted against private for our 3 children for the reasons that you stated. we have instead opted to build wealth for the kids by saving the $40K per head and invest in brokerage/retirement/529s. We supplement with a ton of enrichment activities, take great vacations overseas, and are still able to save quite a bit. The kids are also in AAP/honors courses at FCPS and doing well. I didn't see the need for private and have been pleased with how things have worked out thus far.

Your decision will be personal but I have enjoyed the financial freedom that comes with public, and knowing that we don't have to worry about our retirement or our kids' futures.

I myself went to a nice private school (loved it) so I feel that I have a good handle of what the pros/cons are of each option. I made the right decision for our family.

Best of luck. [/quote]

So you went to a private but are willing to deny that to your children?[/quote]

Or maybe having gone to private is the reason they believe their kid would be better off in public?  Or maybe their kid is just fine in public so no need for the expense at this point?  Don’t know why you assume someone is being denied something.[/quote]
