[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these people who say they pay for private for reasons other than college outcome, can you please explain more? When I saw the OP’s post I knew that would be the standard reply (I’ve been reading this board for years and there are two consistent themes: quitting your job to stay home because that’s “the best decision for our family” and claiming that you pay for private not because of college “we are not paying to get into ivy”), so I’m curious why. I’m an immigrant so that might explain why this is confusing to me. [/quote]

No one needs to justify any decision to you or explain it.  Visit the schools, decide if it is worth it.  Look at the matriculation stats with a grain of salt - know those with ivy are probably legacy.  Unhooked kids go to the same schools as public school kids.  Decide if it's worth it to you.  As an immigrant, if that's true, you will see the difference.  Plenty of first gen immigrants at my kid's private.  Also lots of non-immigrants don't think it's worth it either.[/quote]
