[quote=Anonymous]I am the poster who remarked about touring a K-12 and how Creative Minds has more and then some.  I did private school all of my life and was raised with the idea that private is better than public. When I did private, however, it did not cost as much private schools cost today relative to today's wages.  Consequently for me, the question is, what do I consider to be important for my child's education and what does private offer that a public does not offer for the money that you have to pay.  This applies only to ME and I cannot speak to other families at CMI.  I know, for instance, that there are some families who are committed to public education--I am not one of them.  I have discovered that FOR MY CHILD, CMI offers all that I want in a school and has more than what my desired private offers at little cost compared to the $30,000 of my desired private.

I believe that learning in an economically and racially diverse environment is also an important part of a child's education.  CMI has that diversity that is important TO ME.  I am not aware of one single private school that promotes a progressive education that has this type of diversity.  I have toured GDS, Lowell, Stoneridge, OLV, Blessed Sacrament, and Holy Trinity and have friends with children at Sidwell, NCRC, WIS and St Augustines.

Not all CMI parents care about comparisons to private.  I, however, truly do believe that CMI's offerings mean that private is not worth it for my family at this time.[/quote]
