[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I’ve never understood why wealthy people send their kids to public schools when they can afford private[/b]. They’ll spend big bucks on everything else but not education. To me, that’s backwards. I’m DCUM poor and I send my kid to private school. Aside from his health, nothing is more important than an education. You can’t go back and do it again. I won’t care too much if he has to do DL because his school did a great job last year especially last minute. They are paying teachers to come back a week early so they can have two weeks to prepare for DL since it will probably happen sometime this fall. I’m a public school teacher and they would never pay us a dime to do anything. They try to guilt us into take DL courses this summer for free. You get what you pay for. I think people are seeing this now.[/quote]

Because while private schools can do some things better than public schools, [b]there are some things that they cannot replicate[/b].

I would never send my kids to private school.  My brother is sending his kids to private school and is realizing [b]the problem[/b], but feels locked in.  [/quote]

Like what?[/quote]

Upthread a poster said that school teaches children that they are not the center of the universe. Public schools teach that. Private schools teach the opposite.

Some people describe it as polish, as a kind of [i]je ne sais quoi[/i]. It's a definite attitude that private school kids (many, not all) have that some parents want, some parents don't. [/quote]
