[quote=Anonymous]OP, I just wanted to let you know that my DH also prefers private and I prefer public.

Going public would mean we would also leave a house we love, to move to an area with a better public school line-up.

I am leaning towards going public, even knowing we will have to leave a home we love and take out a mortgage at a higher interest rate, because I think a top public school will provide a better community for our family, provide more opportunities for friendship for our children (bigger grade sizes), and an academic experience that is at least as good as the best privates at an elementary level.

Would my kids get robotics or foreign language and the course school day in public? No. Will they be able to perform in a school musical starting in second grade in public? No.

But, they can get exposure to all of this through afterschool programming at all of the great public schools, and we can always have them do weekend, extracurricular activities to go deeper in any subjects, sports, science or arts programs they want to.

I suspect our kids will be in private school for middle in high school and I am OK with that. More time to save.

Hope this helps![/quote]
