[quote=Anonymous]It's not a bad analogy. We have one kid in private and in one in public. They're different kids with different needs. Our DC in private would do okay in public, but we want better than "okay" and we can afford it. I went to private, my sister went to public. I have done much better—she did better academically, but has been far less prepared for the world. I was more ambitious, analytical and self-reliant—I had good peers, who have all done well, and an expectation I'd excel. I would have done "fine" like my sister, but I'm glad I went to private and I'm glad we can afford to send our older to private, and if our younger needs it, we'll go to. [/quote]
