[quote=Anonymous]My kid's are young and we are considering private school for them. We can afford it but it will be tight and we have no family money. 
This thread is giving me pause. I went to a pretty bad public HS but somehow landed on my feet and have a good job now. I did learn some pretty good life skills there even if the education was sub-par. I had to work like crazy in college to catch up to the elite private school kids but I was fine after the first couple of years. Some of the elite High schools in this area seem way to intense for my liking. I have friends whose kids are in high school and they were saying it is commmon for kids to see a therapist regularly for anxiety and managing stress. They also use tutors to help them keep up with the challenging work. These are kids who seem to have such nice lives - vacations in Europe every summer, winter skiing in Aspen, beautiful homes. I also don't like the idea of paying for tutors on top of private school. One of my friends said you pretty much have to because everyone else is doing it.  I'm so perplexed. Maybe I just don't understand the private school world. I think I will stick with simple and pretty good rather than amazing and complicated.[/quote]
