[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, our private all boys school in DC hasn’t turned out to be worth the full tuition we pay at over 30 grand a year. [/quote]

At least you're honest instead of trying to justify value that's not there.....[/quote]

Thank you, many posts get angry when anything unfavorable is said about the school even though it’s the case or they will spin it to downplay it. 
[b]I did not anticipate this and really hoped it would’ve turned out to what I was sold on[/b], I’m actually quite sad about it for my child. But it’s too much of a disappointment. It didn’t have to be as wonderful as the school and parents touted, I just would’ve appreciated more honesty. Take what they say with a grain of salt, there is major bias and you’ll only get information of what they want you to know and all the polish. [/quote]

This. I wish the school had been what I wanted but it wasn't.  Hate to move my kid but this will be the final move back to public.   At least he's looking forward to it.  He's been bored.[/quote]

Could it perhaps be that your kid is more used to public and its less demanding requirements for behavior, attitude and writing requirements?   The complainers who spend a year in private think money was going to guarantee a happy kid.  Not a good fit.[/quote]

Could it be just what the PP said?  Could it be you greatly underestimate how many parents are faking how much they love a particular private school because they feel stuck and somewhat ashamed?  Some kids do better in a bigger environment with more options for academics, more independence, more options for friends.[/quote]
Well have at it then.[/quote]
