[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The least of your worries is how to get him into private school.

I can’t speak for other private schools but at my private school there’s a strong sense of parent involvement in the school. Unfortunately that means parents have flexible jobs, or one has a stay at home mom, or there is a grandparent or a nanny willing to pick up the slack. Even the parents with high flying jobs get involved. At least at the pre k or kindergarten level the school wants to see that parents will be part of the community. Yes understandably to be able do that smacks of privilege, but that’s why it’s elite private school.

You may want to think right now about how working long hours may not give you the flexibility that private schools are looking from its parents. [/quote]

OP Yes, I agree there is some parent involvement required. I work long hours but I am reasonably senior and have some flexibility if I need to go late / leave early 1-2 per month. Or even go to an event in the middle of the day. I'd be able to do that, not consistently, but can contribute. Similarly, don't mind working on such things at night after he goes to bed. I need to work "for work" anyway. [/quote]
