[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a similar income in DC proper and sent our 3 kids to private for high school only.  The expectations were a giant step up from DCPS. 2 of the 3 are now at Ivies and doing incredibly well. Third is still in high school. It was (and is for one more year for the youngest) a lot of money but we don't regret paying it. We're not people who want a lot of fancy things and we have no desire to retire early so we I don't look back and think "wow, I wish I could have spent that money in a different way." I'm at peace at having spent it on education.  [/quote]

Very similar to us. It might be cultural but people boasting how they retired early because they were refused to spend much on education jars with me. I get it if you really hate your job or are in a very unstable industry. But not if you sacrifice education for the sake of quitting work and doing not much. [/quote]

Ummm sending your kid to any one of the very very good public schools around her is not “sacrificing education.” [/quote]
