[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I understand many people in the DC Metro area have this issue - that's why I'd like to hear their perspective! This is also absolutely not a social thing for us. It would be the opposite. Our social network is going public. We are also not terribly affluent. Private tuition, while not a crazy stretch, would be a sacrifice in terms of opportunity cost for other things. The size of classes and attention paid to individual kids doesn't seem to be a factor at all I'm hearing. 24-26 kids in a class just seems pretty extreme to me for such little kids...[/quote] I agree... Class sizes are too large at public school. We are zoned for highly regarded public but are choosing private. The small class size and nurturing environment are worth the cost for us. We will arrange play dates and keep in contact with neighborhood friends.[/quote]
