[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reduce tuition? Our school made lots of modifications, upgrades and structural improvements due to covid. Even the high tech cameras in every room come at a price. No, tuition was not reduced. But anyone was free to enroll in public school and then have zero instruction.   [/quote]

You mean public education is free. You paid for cameras.[/quote]
And for the first 18 months you got what you paid for at public school. Nothing. I’ll take seamless transition to zoom and in school everyday or hybrid option over many many months of public school zilch. This should not be a hard point for pro-public schoolers to concede. [/quote]

Valid, but once pandemic is over that will be a moot point. [/quote]

It's going to take a while for leaders to guide the transition from pandemic to endemic.  Wish that weren't true, but our country doesn't have the will to use the tools we have to control/manage the virus.

Our country's foundational cookie-cutter and tiered education model is outdated. We are slipping in critical thinking, fostering innovation, and preparing our kids for current and future jobs.  Our private isn't cutting edge by any means - should be much better for what we pay IMO- but I do value the whole child approach.  In a world where jobs are increasingly linked to developing a personal brand/freelancing/differentiating in one's career path, I value the EQ skills that our school has helped foster.  [/quote]
