[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not paying tuition (grandparents) and I'm very open about that. It's amazing how many offended anti-private school parents seem to be okay with our decision BECAUSE it's free.

It seems to fly in the face of their angry lectures about how great our local public is when they let me off the hook for taking private over public when the cost is the same.  [/quote]

Ha, yes! In our case, with FA private is vastly cheaper than moving to a non-crappy school district. When I mention that, judgment turns to naked envy. [/quote]

But, all things being equal, you would get the money from moving "back" when you sold your house.  It would be an investment, wheres IS is just money spent.  Before you slam me, remember that I said all things being equal in that you value the particular PS and IS the same.  I think there can be PS that are essentially equal (or maybe sometimes even better) than IS.  It depends on the particular PS and the IS, but it's hard to tell that when you move to the house.  We bought where we live for the school district (and have "10") schools.  It turns out that one of our kids really just can't function with that many kids in the class and needs smaller classes, so we do IS for that child.  [/quote]
