[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interestingly enough I was just having this convo with my friend. She lives in a good school district where everyone sends public, I’m in a circle sending to private. Her kids and circle are incredibly over scheduled - like a million sports and extracurriculars outside of school in prek, and in my circle, kids do things outside of school, but a lot of activities are offered onsite after school (for a fee) which is better for working parents. We grew up going to private school and we did activities outside of school, but maybe 1-2 dance classes per week type thing and then a sport through school. I think private schools offer more on site, and additionally, perhaps people paying for private school aren’t also paying 20k a year for a million enrichment activities in elementary school.[/quote]

Public school, Christian and Catholic school parents go OTT because they feel guilty about not being able to afford a good private (independent) and want to compensate either directly or indirectly for the deficiencies either directly through academic tutoring or indirectly through other activities.[/quote]
