Not true. It takes more than just money. Some pull their kid out of good public high school for a private one. Then the kid ends up going to a mediocre college anyways. Look at the local private HS College Commitments Websites. [/quote]

Not all of us moved to private with the misguided idea that the "return on investment" would be "better" college placement. We wanted a better day to day experience for our children. We absolutely got that. They have teachers who care about them, smaller classes, more chances to participate in ECs and sports, the school has an administration that can be nimble in their decision-making on everything from cell phone policy to weather closures, and we don't worry about massive behavioral issues. DCs are held to high standards. They enjoy school. They will go to a college that is a good fit for them and I am confident that the CCs at their school will help them manage that process. It's a lot of money, but to us it's worth it. [/quote]

+1. This is EXACTLY how I feel. [/quote]
