Private School vs Public School

[reklawd]

I'm about to pull my 1st grader out of the third-largest school district in the state and put her in private school. It will eventually be a big bill when all three kids go there, be they could be taking college-level courses in 8th grade...

Anyone on here have any experience with metro-ATL private schools vs public schools?

We pulled my daughter out of public school 1/2 way through her Kindergarten year. We purely homeschooled her for that year and 1st grade then enrolled her in a hybrid homeschool program until she graduated in 2017. My son has been enrolled in that same school since his K year. He’s a junior now. It’s been worth the money put out for sure. They are very smart and have a better group of fiends around them.

im always unsure when i talk to folks about this. obviously the schooling will most likely be significantly better with a much smaller student to teacher ratio. On the other hand i learned some of my best "life lessons" in public school and that type of social education is just as important

As the product of a good public school, I can relate.

But if you are ITP the public schools are lacking. Plus there is the nepotism element for both the kids and the parents. One of my mentors once told me, "it is not who you know, it is who knows you."

I love my kids but ain’t no amount of fancy schooling can fix what they got. So might as well learn how the world works with the other hell cat kids

Absolutely. And I’d much rather them learn that at 7 or 8 than 27 or 28
