[quote=Anonymous]I am a parent of several DCs.  All of them will have attended private school, paying full tuition, since pre-kindergarten.  The oldest is in college.

I can honestly say that I have sent my DCs to private school for the strong quality of the formative education they receive, and the smaller class size.  They will hopefully graduate high school with a solid base of knowledge, culture, and understanding, with the ability to communicate well, the motivation to work hard, and the desire to be empathetic towards, and caring of, others.

I hope that the individual attention they received from their teachers, and the opportunities they had at their smaller schools, will give them confidence to experiment and explore without reserve in college, and to take risks beyond that.

DCs should attend whatever college best suits their abilities, talents, and personalities, without excessive emphasis on rankings.  I want them to be ambitious and practical, of course, but I also want them to be happy.  Where they are admitted and choose to go to college says nothing about me as a parent, but something about them as a young person -- still growing and evolving.  It is not the end point for evaluating the worth of an education, only the beginning.
