re: Do you pay for private school for your kids?

My child attends and my wife and I both work in EBR public schools. None of us will ever attend or work at a private school, and we will be just as successful as those saying it is worth every penny to avoid public schools. People think that private schools are some sort of utopia because they deal with people who can afford it, but they still have plenty of their own issues. They just have different sorts of issues because they deal with people with privilege.

I guess none of those public schools teach statistics.

I went to public school, and I do alright. The same goes for my friend group that I made while in school, but I also realize that we are essentially the top 10% of graduates from that school. We're a group of outliers. I don't want my child to have to be some sort of outlier in order to attain success. I want her to have a peer group with successful parents, who know what needs to occur to be successful. Is that privilege? Sure, but don't you want to give your kid as much of an advantage in life as you can?

I grew up in an area which didn’t even have a private school option. I enjoyed it. We all went to school together: kids with parents who did very well and kids with parents who really struggled. Success and failure of kids started with home life. Some of us are now doing well and some us dropped out in 10th grade. Had there been a private school option I am sure many of more high achieving students would have gone private.
However we also didn’t have a lot of “culture” or “diversity” in our community.

Half the teachers and staff at my son's really good public elementary school send their kids to the private school my son now attends. They know what goes on behind the scenes in the public district...
