I live in San Francisco, where the private schools are a joke, but you'd never know if you believed their PR. Very true comments about private versus public schools.

Actually, my PUBLIC high school had the girls wear long white dresses and carry roses, and made the boys wear white tuxedos for graduation (like I said in an earlier comment, VERY high tax base).....I chose not to attend, and went to a play with my family to celebrate instead.

I spent 12 years in an all girls school. I think one of your pros (for private school) bears further investigation, though. Take a good hard look at what colleges their graduates attend. Your kids may stand a better chance of getting into a better university coming from your local public school than coming from private school. Then again they may not. But if your local school offers a broad spectrum of AP courses, that's usually a good sign. FWIW, my highschool was incredibly weak in math and science. Not that those subjects really mattered since we were there for finishing school anyway. Oh, one more thing. What do the girls wear to hs graduation? Seriously, if it's long white dresses and gloves and they carry bouqets, RUN. I'm just saying. Count me in the camp of Dead Against Private School. I spent 12 years in an all girls school.

I know I should read it all and find out but I'm only being snarky and really shouldn't have to work hard for it! Reallly, I am kidding. I home school BUT it is not an ideological thing.
