[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MS is so much harder than people here seem to think.  It's why schools with much more than CM fail, and why so many in DC who can go private choose to.

It's a little tired hearing people say "we could afford to go private, but choose not to".   Really?  You're so wealthy you can spend an extra $25K per ano, and yet you're betting on a completely unproven idea with a very low potential for success ?

Shenanigans.  :roll:[/quote]

You must not know much about the CMI community. We could also easily afford to go private but chose CMI because of the amazing education out child is receiving.  We are betting on a known administration and community. Sounds like a safe bet to me. [/quote]

Actually, I do know some CM families, in more than one grade.  They are happy enough, but don't pretend it's anything close to a private school.  [/quote]

I never compare it to a private. I said we chose it even though we could afford private. [/quote]

You realize this is just telling us about your values and it isn't a testament to the quality of CM, right? I have toured Sidwells, GDS, and WIS. The education and attention students receive there is far superior to CM. If you could "easily" afford to go private, what you're basically saying is you care less about your child's education than whatever else you're using the money for (house/cars/vacations/retirement/etc). That's fine, but that's a value statement for you and doesn't really help others evaluate the school. [/quote]

My child's education is my top priority. He is getting the best and most well suited education for him at CMI. As I said, I was not making the private school comparison, just saying we chose based on what is best for our child and did not have to consider finances. Our savings go towards high school, college and grad school for our children.  If you want to be negative, go ahead. I am a positive person and won't put down other schools.

Cmi gives our kids a personalized education that suits each child there. The support they get is amazing. [/quote]
