[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I envy people who are so rich, private school cost does not register. I feel sorry for people who live in small, ugly houses so their child can attend private. that’s just foolish.[/quote]

And stupid. You don’t get that much value from private. Many public school kids make it to college and top, prestigious colleges too. [b]You do not have to go to privat to go to a good college.[/b]

If getting into a good college was the sole outcome variable of interest, then yes, you don’t have to go to private school. You also don’t have to come from a household with at least one loving parent/guardian and you don’t have to have a childhood free from abuse or poverty.

But there are other reasons to choose schools besides exmissions. If given the choice and opportunity, parents would not choose preschools and K-12 schools merely to get them to the next step. If I hadn’t gone to a private school in the deep south for high school, I would have been teased and bullied for being a minority, just as I was in public jr high. I was still relatively happy and had friends in jr high, but I wouldn’t want any kid to have to go through that.
