[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Human beings brains develop between zero and 25. Their kindergarten through 12th grade experience matters a lot to who they become. Private schools be much more attention to each child. It’s just true.

Not everyone is applying to private schools because he thinks it gives them an edge with regard to colleges; that’s gonna depend on how smart your child is to be honest.[/quote]

Agree 100%. I would trade those 13 years for the 4 years of college in a hot minute.

But I don’t think I’ll need to trade them, because there are probably a hundred school OP considers not “good” where my kid can still get a sound and enriching education.

The difference is that we have literally the entire world to choose from for college. I have a hard time believing that we won’t find ONE we like that will take my kid.

For K-13 our choice is limited to our zoned elementary, charter if we get lucky, and several private schools. It would be insane to let the college choice drive that decision when the college possibilities will be more numerous by a factor of 10.[/quote]
