[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. And we make multiples of that. But public school is an important value to us. [/quote]

Similar here. Our HHI will be > 5mm this year, and we send our kids to MoCo public schools. While we aren't leading the PTO, we are regular volunteers at the school (one spouse with part time work far more than the other). It's the right community for our family, and we wouldn't change it.

While we make a lot now, one of us grew up poor/lower middle class, the other middle-middle class. MoCo public schools suit us well. Yes, not everything is absolutely "perfect." In our view, that is sort of the point--we think our kids learn a bit more resilience when not everything is always perfect.

I will admit though that one high-earning spouse's income provides an advantage that helps make public schools work for us: The spouse who works part-time is *super* involved with kids' homework, enrichment, etc. [b]We joke that our kids have 100% of MoCo public plus 50% home school on top.[/b][/quote]

That is not a joke, that is pathetic. As you know at your supposed HHI, time is money. Why would you make your kids waste 3+ hours a day on home school instead of sending them somewhere better and using those 3 hours for play, family fun, sleep?[/quote]
