[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have to justify that they are spending $30,000 a year. We recently switched from private to public because the private couldn’t meet the needs of my SN daughter. Both of my kids are thriving in public and we are fortunate that our public schools are best in class.  We don’t live in DMV. [/quote]

My kids are not SN. I think most people would agree that public is better for SN, unless it is an SN-specific private.

That said, I do not know why OP is asking this question. If she cannot afford private then what is the point? It would be like me asking if flying in private jets is really all that compared to flying commercial. [/quote]

OP here. I asked the question to understand the differences between public vs private and what my kids are missing that we could make up through other means if possible. 
I don't think your private jet and commercial analogy is really relevant.  [/quote]

No, you cannot make up for having reasonable class sizes, low screen time, and well-behaved peers. You can do all the enrichment and tutoring you want but that does not make up for having a better experience during the 7 hour school day. There is no point delving into this. Do not think about what you are missing in private, since it is not an option. Think about what could help your own child.[/quote]
