    While I see his point, it is important to understand that there is a big difference between “private school” and “designer school.” The school my kids go to is nothing like the ones described, and not near the cost. Worth it? Every penny.

    (And I didn’t take offense to the blog or article. I just want to give a balanced perspective.)

    Shane, I agree. I hope it was clear in my post that I did think that some private schools were quite worth the investment. It’s just that my students don’t seem to attend those particular schools. :)

    I am a “she,” not a “he,” by the way.

    I thing you made it clear. I was more referring to Paul’s line into your link (again, not taking offense with either of you).

    Sorry for the gender mistake! :-)

    Sorry, too, that your students have not been given the education they deserve (and has been more than adequately paid for).

    Agreed, Shane. They DO get good “book learning,” but the creative arts seem to get shafted. So do the “how to work and play well with others” skills. It’s a shame. Glad it’s working out for your kids, though.

    having worked in both worlds, i am very glad to be back in the public sector. one of the main problems private schools face, but rarely “publicly” admit is that the talent pool of good teachers is very limited, despite the expensive tuition and huge amounts of money spent attracting faculty. (at least in the elite private schools i frequented in los angeles)

    well, no one said you had to ‘play well with others’ to be successful, our president certainly sets a fine example for the youth of america–in this case.
